Dounreay reactor dome to be demolished & archive created

BBC news reported this week on the news that the Dounreay nuclear reactor is to be demolished, which was previously considered by Historic Scotland for listed building status and had a number of inventive proposals for re-use.

The Nuclear Decommissioning Authority business plan for 2015 states that the Dounreay site will be suitable for demolition by 2022, and works completed on the 70 hectare site by 2029/30.

In March 2015 the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority also announced that a national nuclear industry archive was to be constricted in Wick following the granting of planning approval from Highland Council, with the North Highland Archive being transferred to the new site.
