Atomic Energy Authority of the United Kingdom

The United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) was created in 1954 as a public corporation to monitor and explore the development of nuclear energy in the United Kingdom United. The authority promoted the development of nuclear energy, supervising the peaceful development of nuclear technology and carrying out abundant scientific research.

In the late 1980s UKAEA started trading in the form of a trading fund, in which it has to function as if it were a trading company. In the 1990s, the Authority was divided into two: its most commercial activities were transferred to the private company AEA Technology, which has since been quoted on the London Stock Exchange, while those directly related to nuclear obligations that may need to be dismantled were retained. Its new role is to dismantle the nuclear facilities used for the UK R & D program and to restore the environment around its sites. Since the early 1990s, UKAEA has completed more dismantling tasks than anyone in Europe, and has achieved considerable success in regenerating former nuclear sites for commercial use. UKAEA also acts in the UK and European research programs on fusion energy in Culham, Oxfordshire, including the world's most powerful fusion facility, the European Torus ensemble. The research looks at the development of fusion as a source for the future of environmentally friendly and commercially viable energy.
