There are two nuclear power stations in Scotland, and several nuclear-powered submarines are based there, as part of the British military fleet. Nuclear Power accounts for approximately 35% of Scotland's electricity generation.[1]

The current Scottish National Party (SNP) government elected in 2007 has a 'no new nuclear power strategy'. This position is at odds with UK government policy which in January 2008 announced the go-ahead for new nuclear power stations to be built across the United Kingdom. In response, Scotland's then First Minister Alex Salmond commented there was 'no chance' of new nuclear power stations being built in Scotland.[2] The Parliament voted 63-58 to support the policy of opposing new nuclear power stations,[3] but others support nuclear as part of a sustainable, clean energy policy.[4]

Nuclear reactors in Scotland

Nuclear-powered vessels

HMNB Clyde (Faslane) is the homeport of the nuclear-powered submarines of the Vanguard and Astute classes :

  • HMS Vanguard
  • HMS Victorious
  • HMS Vigilant
  • HMS Vengeance
  • HMS Astute
  • HMS Ambush
  • HMS Artful
{{Asof|2007}} seven nuclear-powered submarines were stored at Rosyth Dockyard after decommissioning and the removal of their fuel :[5]
  • HMS Churchill
  • HMS Dreadnought
  • HMS Resolution
  • HMS Repulse
  • HMS Renown
  • HMS Revenge
  • HMS Swiftsure

Public opinion

In 2013, a YouGov energy survey concluded that:

New YouGov research for Scottish Renewables shows Scots are twice as likely to favour wind power over nuclear or shale gas. Over six in ten (62%) people in Scotland say they would support large scale wind projects in their local area, more than double the number who said they would be generally for shale gas (24%) and almost twice as much as nuclear (32%). Hydro power is the most popular energy source for large scale projects in Scotland, with an overwhelming majority (80%) being in favour.[6]
