Future plans for Dalgety Bay

MOD has published a report setting out plans to manage radium contamination at Dalgety Bay in Fife. 

Commissioned by the Ministry of Defence (MOD)’s Defence Infrastructure Organisation and endorsed by the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA), the report recommends a number of measures that will address and manage the contamination, so that the local community can continue to use the bay.

Actions such as the removal of radioactive material, reinforcement and replacement of costal rock armour and the construction of a replacement slipway at Dalgety Bay Sailing Club are recommended in the report. Work is expected to be completed by the end of 2018.
