Dounreay: what a mess. For a long while, two commercial nuclear power stations Hunterston and Torness generated ~40% of Scotlands power requirement for Electricity, and another 10% coming from Hydro. Both nukes are closed down now. Far as I know, both stations had a good safety record and I was on a parents help team when my daughter was at school and the class being given a tour of one of the nuclear power stations. It was generating 600MW at the time of the visit. Another old nuclear development site is Sellafield in England and is also close to Scotland. It has an appalling safety record too. So bad that it has undergone name changes to try and hide the problem from the public eye. Sellafield - Wikipedia Most of Scotland power generating capacity is now Wind.

It's becoming a problem. It's bad when we are paying Electrical Generators money to stay idle as the National Grid can't use or export the power.
