NRS Dounreay is an organization in the oil and gas sector located in Buldoo, Scotland (kw14 7tz), United Kingdom, with an employee base of 501 to 1,000 people. It is a division of Nuclear Restoration Services and forms part of the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority Group, with a focus on construction, demolition, and waste management aimed at returning the site to as near as practicable its original condition. Historically, Dounreay served as the UK's centre of fast reactor research and development from 1955 until 1994, where scientists explored plutonium, uranium, and other metals to advance knowledge for electricity generation with more advanced reactors. The description indicates that R&D is complete, and the equipment and materials used are being packed up while the environment is being restored by a new generation of staff skilled in nuclear clean-up. Recent leadership milestones include the appointment of the first woman to the executive team in 2023 and, in January 2026, Becky Ruddy being awarded an MBE for services to women in the nuclear industry (she serves as Senior Programme Director at NRS Dounreay).
