BAE systems, which runs the Devonshire Dock complex that builds Britain’s nuclear submarines, confirmed that the site had been closed on Wednesday.
An unidentified source told The Mail, a Barrow-in-Furness-based publication, that staff had been evacuated after a warning about a bomb on an Astute-class nuclear attack submarine.
The shipyard makes the new generation of four Dreadnought-class ballistic missile submarines intended to eventually replace the Vanguard class, which forms the basis of the UK’s Trident nuclear deterrent.
Dreadnought-class submarines have a length of 153 metres, a displacement of 17,200 tonnes and have a PWR3 nuclear reactor.

Nuclear submarine 'bomb scare': Barrow shipyard evacuated as police scramble to reports of explosive
WikiLeaks has said it has uncovered a surveillance operation at the Ecuadorian embassy against Julian Assange and that images, documents and videos gathered have been offered for sale.
Spanish police mounted a sting operation against unnamed individuals in Madrid who offered the material for sale in what lawyers and colleagues of Assange said on Wednesday was an attempt at extortion.
Some of the material came from video cameras with the capacity to record audio and had been installed last year after a new government took power in Ecuador, a press conference organised by WikiLeaks was told.

The Vatican is opening an internal investigation into the case of Emanuela Orlandi, a teenager who disappeared in 1983 in one of Italy's darkest mysteries
The Holy See has "authorised the opening of an investigation", the family's lawyer Laura Sgro told Italian media on Wednesday. The Vatican declined to comment.
"I think spying did occur," Barr told a Senate hearing. "But the question is whether it was adequately predicated and I am not suggesting that it wasn't adequately predicated. ... I am not suggesting those rules were violated, but I think it is important to look at that. And I am not talking about the FBI necessarily, but intelligence agencies more broadly.
