The Dounreay nuclear licensed site, located in Caithness on the north coast of Scotland, was the United Kingdom's (UK) site for Fast Reactor research and development. The Dounreay facilities are now being decommissioned and the site restored in accordance with UK Government policy to manage civil nuclear liabilities. This site closure and environmental restoration programme is to achieve levels of residual radiological and chemical contamination sufficiently low that the site will be safe for future use. This document sets out the Environmental Safety Strategy for the site remediation and closure programme, which will follow completion of facility decommissioning and demolition. The document summarises the contractual definition of the Dounreay site end states and also the associated regulatory regimes. An overview of the approach and processes for achieving the Interim End State (IES) are provided, along with consideration of how Dounreay will demonstrate that the IES has been achieved. (authors)
