Can an old nuclear power plant have a green future?
The old Chapelcross nuclear power plant in Scotland is being considered for a green energy future after ceasing operations in 2004. Plans are underway to repurpose the site for renewable energy sources like hydrogen, solar power, and battery storage, in line with the shift away from new nuclear plants. With decommissioning work ongoing and new green energy initiatives in development, the plant could continue to play a significant role in meeting the nation's energy needs and providing employment opportunities in the area.
