Coming soon! Linda Ross has co-edited New Lives New Landscapes Revisited: Rural Modernity in Britain, which is due to be published for the British Academy by Oxford University Press on June 8. Her chapter focuses on Dounreay’s nuclear narratives, with particular emphasis on heritage. Dounreay, in the far north of Scotland, was the site of the UK’s first full-scale fast breeder reactor.

In late April Linda Ross spent a week at The National Archives (TNA) in Kew undertaking research for a forthcoming article. TNA is the official archive for the UK Government and houses the historic records of its nuclear industry.

In the end of March, researchers from Linköping university and curators from Malmö Museums arranged a drawing workshop with children from a school located five kilometres from the Barsebäck NPP in southern Sweden. The children were encouraged to draw and write based on the question: “What do you think of when someone says Barsebäck nuclear power plant?”.
