Plans to tackle radioactive contamination on Dalgety Bay beach will go before Councillors next week.
Member's of the Executive Committee will consider a progress report on MOD plans to remove radioactive particles from the foreshore.
Proposals include building a cover system and replacing existing rock armoury .
It's hoped the beach will eventually re-open to the public.
Depute Leader Cllr Laird said: "This long running issue has caused great concern for local residents so progress towards a long term solution is to be welcomed.
"If councillors agree the recommendations in the report, more detailed work will then be done between the council, MOD and SEPA before a final management strategy is completed and any work begins.
"Key to this will also be agreements between the various landowners and the Defence Infrastructure Organisation who are leading on the project.
"In the meantime, the MOD will continue to carry out its monthly monitoring programme to reduce the risks onsite."
