Fears Raised Over Specialist Vulcan MoD Work
Concern has arisen that plans to put the clean-up of Vulcan in the hands of Dounreay could lead to the break-up of a specialist MoD team in the north.
The MoD has yet to comment on speculation that the intended transfer of the Rolls-Royce workforce to NRS Dounreay could lead to future work in support of the UK nuclear submarine fleet being switched to the Sellafield plant in west Cumbria.
A Vulcan worker has told the Caithness Courier that the transfer has triggered a lot of disquiet.
The suggestion has emerged in the wake of the UK government’s confirmation that the decommissioning of Vulcan is to be undertaken by the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA), which currently oversees only the clean-up of redundant civil nuclear reactor sites.
