Dounreay Atomic Research Establishment is a sprawling monument to solidity, optimism and analogue engineering. It was decommissioned in 1994, but is still standing- a colossal environmental cleanup problem. The intangible alchemies and sense of romantic science at its heart are trapped like amber in archive film and in its colossal structures. Over the last two years,unprecedented access to the facility and to the UKAEA Archive at Harwell have allowed Gair Dunlop to explore the dream and the consequences of high science in a remote community. The darker consequences of living with the dream emerge to the viewer gradually.
