Nuclear Power Stations

EDM number 2003 in 2005-06, proposed by Mike Weir on 20/04/2006.

That this House notes with great concern the news that the clean-up cost for existing nuclear facilities is set to rise by £14 billion to £70 billion; believes that this highlights that nuclear power is expensive as well as dangerous and dirty; considers that Scotland has no need for new nuclear power stations which, according to the UK Government-appointed Committee on Radioactive Waste Management, if built, would produce radioactive waste nine times stronger than currently exists and will cost billions of pounds to both build and clean up; and further believes that the Government's nuclear ambitions should be rejected and that clean and safe energy technologies with which Scotland has the potential to lead the world should be promoted.

This motion has been signed by a total of 30 MPs.
