The Nuclear Industry Association has highlighted Scotland's declining growth in nuclear jobs, reporting a mere 5% increase over the past year. In contrast, England's nuclear workforce has surged by 13%.

The SNP's opposition to new nuclear projects could result in lost opportunities for high-paying jobs and economic growth. Current nuclear facilities are aging, with potential closure leaving Scotland without nuclear energy for the first time in 70 years. While many Scots support nuclear energy as part of a diverse energy mix, the Scottish government remains focused on renewable alternatives.
