Dounreay is a decommissioned nuclear site located on the north coast of Scotland, near Thurso in Caithness. It was originally established in the 1950s as a research and development center for fast breeder reactors and played a significant role in the UK’s nuclear energy program. The site featured several reactors, including the Dounreay Fast Reactor (DFR), which was the first of its kind in the UK, and the Prototype Fast Reactor (PFR).
