WE WILL GO NUCLEAR ON DAY ONE AT HOLYROOD

UK minister will plan for atomic power if Labour wins Scots vote

UK Energy Secretary Ed Miliband would invite nuclear bosses to Scotland on the first day of a Labour administration at Holyrood in a push for new reactors, he says.

The Scottish Government has consistently been against new nuclear power stations, with control of planning laws giving ministers an effective veto.

SNP ministers have raised concerns about the cost of projects, how long it will take to build them and potential safety issues around waste.
