Dounreay's Plan for New Construction Work
Dounreay is holding a special event for contractors with an interest in three major new construction projects.
The new facilities are the backbone of the work that needs to be done to demolish the remainder of the site and get all the radioactive waste into a form that is safe for long-term storage or disposal.
Construction work on the first of the major new plants is scheduled to begin next year.
