Dounreay nuclear site workers to strike over pay

Unite members have also supported an overtime ban from Wednesday.

A further day of action has been scheduled from 29 May, and Unite said it was preparing to add more strike dates.

Two days of strikes planned for earlier this month were cancelled to allow to talks.

The dispute involves most of the site’s 1,200 staff.

Dounreay on the north Caithness coast near Thurso dates to the 1950s and was the site of Scotland’s first operational nuclear reactor – the Dounreay Materials Test Reactor.

In 1958 it achieved criticality, which is when the fission chain reaction is self-sustaining.

The complex is now being decommissioned.
