Dounreay Heritage To Be Preserved
He might not think so today, but future generations
could regard James Gunn as the most important person ever to work at
Dounreay. For the former chemist and project manager has taken up
a new part-time role as the site's first heritage officer. His role is to preserve aspects of the site that will
give future generations a glimpse of life at Dounreay when the site itself
has long gone. Later this month, James will commission consultants to
draw up the site's first heritage strategy. An important and headline-grabbing part of the strategy
will be about whether to scrap the contaminated DFR sphere as part of the
site clean-up and demolition. But James says there is a lot more to the site's
heritage than just a giant steel ball.
