Reasonably well informed about Dounreay, its toxic shaft, its liquid

radioactive hotspots on the shoreline and the classic JCB through the
power cables incident, through main and backup run beside each other
in the same trench.

Dounreay was fast reactor research but still generated power at some
point and crucial to learning how to clean up, the shaft is the wolds
most expensive crane grab game.

Short memories about safety at Sellafield, apart from Cockcroft`s
Follies on Calder Hall that saved Cumberland from still being
uninhabitable, what about the falsified records at the MOX plant ,
nuclear industry civil or military is not good at telling the truth.

All in all probably right - ish.

But we don't intend to replicate that set up.

Can you tell a similar story about the largest Nuclear Site in Europe,
the French Commercial Reactors at Gravellines ?

Do you have the co-ords of the hotspots on the coast near Dounreay
I'd like to go and check them out. How many people suffered internal
contamination from these hotspots and who were they ?
