"Rise in radioactive particles on Dounreay foreshore concerns 'people who live and work in the area'

Mr Craig described the particles as "a legacy issue" but said the rise in the number is causing concern to the public.

Mr Craig pointed out there is a two kilometre fishing exclusion zone around Dounreay to stop sediment being disturbed on the seabed but pointed out there is concern about the potential disturbance of radioactive particles from the nearby Pentland Floating Offshore Wind Farm."
