A CAITHNESS community councillor is trying to find out about an explosion which occurred at the Vulcan nuclear submarine site at Dounreay. Alexander Glasgow believes the incident could have caused serious injuries and is critical of the lack of information provided by the Ministry of Defence (MoD) which operates the facility. He raised the issue at the latest meeting of the Thurso community council and said he is “still chasing it up” but colleagues wondered why he was asking questions when Vulcan is not within the community council boundary. Mr Glasgow said: ” I find it extraordinary that this isn’t considered within our bailiwick. As well as the local economy, a great many employees live in Thurso. We could have had multiple serious injuries here.”
