Dounreay Socio Economic Plan 2018/19 - 2021/22
3rd November 2018
The Dounreay Socio Economic Plan sets out the main activities to be undertaken by the Dounreay Socio
Economic Alliance (DSEA) which consists of Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA), Cavendish
Dounreay Partnership (CDP) and Dounreay Site Restoration Ltd (DSRL.
DSEA's activities are based on support to mitigate the economic impacts of the decommissioning of the
Dounreay site. The DSEA does not lead on socio economic activities. It works closely with the Caithness
and North Sutherland Regeneration Partnership (CNSRP) whose aim is to support the creation of new
employment opportunities in the area. The responsibility for economic development in the area rests
with agencies, such as the Highlands & Islands Enterprise and The Highland Council, which are part of
the CNSRP. The focus of the DSEA is therefore:
Supporting the CNSRP.
Funding support for CNSRP projects which have the ability to create sustainable employment.
Enabling activities that support employment in the area.
