Nuclear Power Stations: Security

Asked by Graham LeadbitterScottish National PartyMinistry of DefenceTabled Answered 8 September 2025UIN 72436

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment he has made of the risk of airborne attacks to the security of nuclear power stations; and whether such assessments are included in infrastructure resilience planning.

Answered by Luke Pollard

As these questions relate to civil nuclear infrastructure modelling and civil nuclear contingency planning, they are not a matter for Defence but should be directed to the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero.
