Comment
This is a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS for short) between Dounreay and Reay. BESS are very problematic because the safety aspects are not assessed before planning consent is granted. Safety aspects are relevant to site selection and design and should be considered BEFORE an application is granted. An incident on this site would potentially cause a safety problem for the nuclear sites and affiliated industries in Dounreay.
