Nuclear Power (PE989) Petition PE989, by Colin Anderson, calls on the Scottish Parliament to debate the issue of nuclear power and to discuss whether nuclear power stations are necessary in Scotland, given our enormous renewable energy resources; whether funding for nuclear power would be better invested in energy saving and renewables; whether nuclear power is sustainable, with regard to fuel supply and waste disposal; and whether plans exist to consult the Scottish public on the siting of nuclear power stations and waste depositories.At its meeting on 27 September 2006, the committee agreed to seek an update from the Scottish Executive on its position on the development of nuclear power stations in light of the recent United Kingdom energy review and the Committee on Radioactive Waste Management's review of the long-term management of waste, and to seek the petitioner's views on the response received.
