Nuclear waste sites list revealed
The list was disclosed by Nirex
Five sites in Scotland which were considered for dumping nuclear waste, have been publicly unveiled for the first time.
The list was obtained under the Freedom of Information Act after being kept under wraps for 20 years.
Scotland's sites were identified as Dounreay and Altnabreac in Caithness, an under-sea site off Hunterston and two small Hebridean islands off Barra.
The sites were revealed on Friday by the nuclear disposal company Nirex.
Campaigners said publication of the list of locations, which were never used, only came after a long fight and a request under the Freedom of Information Act.
They appeared on the Nirex website under the title "Nirex publishes historic site list".
