Answered by Michael Shanks
Ministers have asked GBE-N to assess Scotland’s potential for new nuclear power, including around areas that have previously hosted nuclear stations.
New nuclear projects can deliver millions of pounds of investment and thousands of high-quality jobs to a region.
GBE-N will advise UK Ministers on the potential for new nuclear development in Scotland in due course.
