Every town or city had its own power station. The use of long-distance transmission enabled the Government to take over power generation and transmission, and run it on a national basis. Long-distance transmission is efficient only if it is done at a very high voltage (today 275kV). The Government made decisions about which generating technologies to use, and the first nuclear power station in Scotland was opened at Chapelcross in Dumfries-shire in 1955. Despite increasing public concern about the health and environmental risks in using nuclear fuel, Torness opened in 1988. Resource pack   1     2     3     4
