It will take until 2333 for the land on which Dounreay nuclear reactor facility sits to be safe for re-use, following remediation work by the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority.
Dounreay, in Caithness, Scotland, was the UK site for the development of fast reactor research from 1955 to 1994 and supported a materials test reactor (MTR), two demonstration fast reactors, as well as nuclear fuel fabrication and reprocessing facilities.
