Consultation on end state
In March 2007, following public consultation on a wide range of options for the end state, Dounreay Stakeholder Group recommended -
a restored site, with early release of land once decommissioning was complete.
The recommended end state is geared towards clearing and de-licensing areas of site on an early timescale.
Stores containing conditioned higher activity waste and packaged nuclear material would be located in remaining areas of the site. These areas may have higher levels of remaining residual land contamination being managed in-situ through natural attenuation and radioactive decay.
The recommended end state was conditional upon the agencies responsible for socio-economic development working to maximise the skills and assets of the Dounreay site. The end state should be flexible to allow the community to capitalise on any future opportunities.
