Dounreay, ein berüchtigtes UK-Atomklo ... Gesperrte Strände ... die paar Plutonium-Partikel ...

Kennt Ihr übrigens den Schacht? Kann man alles rein schütten, was man mal eben loswerden will. Und was in der Giftsoße nicht versinken will, wird beschossen, bis es untergeht. Wenn der Schachinhalt dann schließlich rums macht, sind die Augen groß ...

@christineburns Only caught part of that report in the broadcast... but I wonder how big the connection is at Dounreay given that generation ended 30 years ago and both reactors were experimental & fairly small scale.

There's a general lack of capacity in the grid to get power from Scotland to England.

"Rise in radioactive particles on Dounreay foreshore concerns 'people who live and work in the area'

Mr Craig described the particles as "a legacy issue" but said the rise in the number is causing concern to the public.

Mr Craig pointed out there is a two kilometre fishing exclusion zone around Dounreay to stop sediment being disturbed on the seabed but pointed out there is concern about the potential disturbance of radioactive particles from the nearby Pentland Floating Offshore Wind Farm."
