He graduated with an honours degree in Chemistry from Edinburgh University and worked in the laboratories of both Dounreay and the neighbouring Vulcan Naval Reactor Test Establishment. Following various roles in project management and decommissioning strategy at Dounreay, James is currently the site’s Information and Knowledge Manager, which includes records management and heritage. The Dounreay heritage strategy was published in 2010 and he has managed the strategy’s implementation plan from this time.
