NRS Dounreay

NRS is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) and is responsible for safely decommissioning 14 nuclear sites and operating one hydro-electric power station. Dounreay is a division of Nuclear Restoration Services and is located at the far north of Scotland and was Britain’s former centre of fast reactor research and development.

The experimental nature of many of its redundant facilities means the clean-up and demolition requires innovation as well as great care. The intention is to decommission Dounreay and leave it in a safe condition for future generations. The skills and enterprise it fosters are giving Scottish companies a platform to compete in the global decommissioning market.
