I am not surprised at this find. This is the culture of Caithness. It was only a matter of time before this was discovered.

It was only a matter of time before this was discovered.Lol well... It was reknown even before that some people were getting there a bit drunk... However, how they could smuggle a whole whisky bottle inside seems more than a matter of booze, I would say security...This seems more important though: http://www.johnogroat-journal.co.uk/News/Irish-contractor-hits-back-at-Dounreay-workforce-claims-27022013.htm

Any medico will tell you that drinking spirits stops radioactivity from hurting you. That's why the government banned luminous wrist-watches, because people had to drink a lot to stop their arms from getting radiation sickness. I think all nuclear workers should be permanently trollied. It's typical nanny state. They'll be stopping us sending children up chimnies next!

a whole whisky bottle

a beer bottle

[Shaggy]

I was recently in there with my truck. I wasn't searched, nor was my truck. I'm not security cleared at Dounreay so i was escorted onto the site and the escort stayed until i left the site. I had several empty beer & spirit bottles amongst some of the leftover cardboard boxes & rubbish on the rear of the truck from the previous customer's load i took to the dump. Think of the possibilities if i had dislodged several of those bottles. More to the point, think of the possibilities of what i could have taken INTO Dounreay with myself and the truck not being searched!

Is that unlike any other working site in the UK?

[secrets in symmetry]

The existence of an unidentified empty bottle on site (and one which is alleged to have once contained beer), is proof that Dounreay should have been closed down years ago

I always knew that liquid sodium was unsafe. This is undeniable proof of that assertion.

[Dadie]

Im under the impression the bottle might have come in on an open bed truck...left unintentially /flung in by others and not known about, when the truck was offsite overnight/weekend etc and left on site after it was found as the poo you could be in for having a bottle empty or otherwise means ...go to gate and do not return goodbye for any contractor employee...and stashed to avoid said trouble ...now found its caused a heck of more trouble for people.....and bad press for the site.

Sounds like one of Caithness' least successful trips to the dump. Are you like me and go places and then think now, why am I here? :lol:

Like, eighteen years ago when the reactor shut down.

Or only fourteen years ago, if it's reprocessing that we're talking about.

Or only fourteen years ago, if it's reprocessing that we're talking about.Yes, but a (potential) empty beer bottle is so much more dangerous than bucket loads of unprocessed spent fuel or bucket loads of sodium.

[Mystical Potato Head]

Yes, but a (potential) empty beer bottle is so much more dangerous than pucket loads of unprocessed spent fuel or bucket loads of sodium.

That coupled with the great "Sweety wrappers found in bin in PFR reactor hall" scandal and it makes for a very hazardous environment indeed.

There's a new employee on site.

Could it have been him?

Beer? Oops I had left a whisky one there!LolA empty Old Pluteney bottle? :cool:

The empty (allegedly) beer bottle scandal has claimed a scalp at the highest level.


Dounreay chief steps down after a year
By Will Clark

THE managing director of Dounreay is to resign only 12 months after being appointed to the position.

Roger Hardy has confirmed he is to step down at the end of the month when Mark Rouse will take over.

Mr Hardy was installed in the site’s hotseat at the start of April last year when Babcock Dounreay Partnership (BDP) was awarded the contract to decommission the former nuclear site.

SIS, I usually find your post's informed, and considered but that last one is just tripe.

Whatever happened with the rozzers that were photygraphed sleeping on duty at Dounreay, cannea mind if that made the groat or not?!

[gleeber]

I have to put my hands up and admit it could have been my beer bottle. I drunk various alcohol stimulants when I worked on the construction of the PFR. Mind you it was 45 years ago but theres been plenty empty beer bottles hidden in various corners over the years in Dounreay. It used to happen a lot in those days and especially on a Sunday. There were some hardened drinkers around. The bottles have to turn up sometime just like hotspots on sandside beach.

Has any action been taken over the discovery of the extremely dangerous fluid container?
