In terms of Section 4 of the Inquiries into Fatal Accidents and Sudden Deaths etc. (Scotland) Act 2016, an Inquiry is to be held if the Lord Advocate considers that the death was sudden, suspicious or unexplained, or occurred in circumstances giving rise to serious public concern, and decides that it is in the public interest for an inquiry to be held into the circumstances of the death.

Detailed guidance is also available for COPFS staff to assist them in identifying cases where it may be appropriate for a discretionary Fatal Accident Inquiry to be held.

The views of the nearest relatives about the holding of an Inquiry will always be taken into account, although the decision is ultimately for COPFS to make.

Latest data from the Low Carbon and Renewable Energy Economy (LCREE) survey shows that, in 2022, Scotland’s nuclear power sector directly employed 2,700 (full-time equivalent) and had an estimated turnover of £763 million.

A five-year time series – of employment and turnover in the nuclear power sector - from 2018 to 2022, is presented in the following tables.

The results in LCREE are survey-based, as the data is gathered from a sample rather than the whole population. The estimates are therefore subject to uncertainty, and the level of uncertainty is expressed through confidence intervals. These are presented alongside the estimates in the following tables.
