Sand-sized particles of irradiated nuclear fuel got into the plant's drainage system in the 1960s and 1970s. Work to clean up the particles began in the 1980s, after fragments were found washed up on the nearby foreshore. Dounreay's operator is funding the research by the University of the Highlands and Islands (UHI). The UHI environmental research institute in Thurso, near Dounreay, said the research would "explore a difficult environmental problem".  Press & Journal 31st Oct 2021 New UHI research to investigate Dounreay waste flushed into sea 40 years ago This free site is ad-supported.
