UK Govt planning nuclear reactor in Scotland despite SNP objections #politics #news #shorts

The UK Government is considering plans to build a nuclear reactor in Scotland, despite long-standing opposition from the Scottish Government.

Scottish secretary Alister Jack has told a Westminster committee that he has asked ministers at the Department for Energy and Net Zero to plan for a nuclear reactor to be built in Scotland, as part of a UK-wide programme.

He also said he expected a “Unionist regime” to be in power in Scotland by 2026.

Responsibility for energy is reserved to Westminster, but the Scottish Parliament has control over planning and environmental regulations, and the SNP has previously said it would block any moves to build new nuclear reactors in Scotland.
