Following a series of presentations to staff at the site, the Babcock-lead consortium set out its plans at an event for the supply chain held in Thurso.

Topics included:

  • The contract between Babcock Dounreay Partnership and the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority

  • Outline strategy for site closure

  • Procurement strategy
