Two nuclear power plants supplying more than half of Scotland's electricity are to be shut down for repairs.

Corrosion and cracks were found in the reactor cores at British Energy's Torness power station, East Lothian, and Hunterston B, Ayrshire.

Extra inspections to ensure they keep meeting safety standards will cause power 'outages'. But BE said: 'It's an economic problem, not a safety one. It just means we'll produce less electricity to sell.'
