Scottish small reactor

Posted: 19th February 2022

Caithness, Sutherland and Ross MSP Maree Todd has declared that she cannot

support the idea of a mini-reactor being built in her constituency,
pointing to the “high cost and high risk” associated with nuclear energy.
Engineering giant Rolls-Royce hopes to build up to 10 small modular reactor
(SMR) power stations by 2035 and there have been calls for one to be
established in Caithness, which has been described as “one of the most
nuclear-sympathetic parts of the UK”. However, Ms Todd said her party, the
SNP, has been clear in its opposition to nuclear development and she argued
that Scotland must look to “safe, sustainable and cost-effective” renewable
sources for its future energy supply.
