#UK government planning nuclear site in #Scotland - Jack
"The #SNP leader said the Scottish government would not support new nuclear power stations in the country, and was investing in #renewable energy projects."
"Scotland's last nuclear power plant - at #Torness in #EastLothian - is scheduled to be shut down by 2028."

"The UK government is planning to build a new #nuclear reactor in #Scotland despite opposition from Holyrood, according to Scottish Secretary Alister Jack.
"He told a House of Lords committee he had asked the UK energy minister to plan for such a site as part of a UK-wide strategy.
"The Conservative minister also called for the Lords to be allowed to scrutinise Scottish laws.
"First Minister John Swinney accused Mr Jack of being a 'menacing behaviour' and said his government would have 'nothing to do with #NuclearPower.'"
Ummmm... #NuclearPowerNoThanks! #RethinkNotRestart
Japan lifts operational ban on world's biggest #NuclearPlant
"Japan's nuclear power regulator on Wednesday lifted an operational ban imposed on Tokyo Electric Power's (9501.T) #KashiwazakiKariwa nuclear power plant two years ago, allowing it to work towards gaining local permission to restart.
"#Tepco has been eager to bring the world's largest atomic power plant back online to slash operating costs, but a resumption still needs consent from the local governments of #Niigata prefecture, #Kashiwazaki city and #Kariwa village, where it is located.
"In 2021, the Nuclear Regulation Authority (NRA) barred Tepco from operating Kashiwazaki-Kariwa, its only operable atomic power station, due to safety breaches including the failure to protect nuclear materials and missteps that saw an unauthorised staff member accessing sensitive areas of the plant."
