As the UK’s national laboratory for nuclear fission, UKNNL is harnessing nuclear science to help solve some of the world’s biggest challenges. We channel our work into four strategic areas: Clean Energy, Health and Nuclear Medicine, Environmental Restoration and Security and Non-Proliferation. These four Focus Areas are the cornerstones of our ambition, shaping what we deliver to our customers and for UK society, and how we invest in our future.
We are custodians of a unique set of facilities and capabilities that enable groundbreaking nuclear research and development – including four world-leading laboratories in the Northwest of England.
The most important asset for our future success, however, is our people. We are fortunate to be gifted with some of the most creative and inspired scientific minds in our sector, in the world. From award winning graduates to internationally acclaimed subject matter experts, everyone in our workforce is here to deliver environmentally and financially sustainable solutions to some of the world’s biggest challenges. And it is their skills, knowledge and enthusiasm that drives our work and fuels our purpose – nuclear science to benefit society.
To help us meet the opportunities of the nuclear landscape, we are building a culture where everybody feels valued and can flourish, and a reputation as a home for stimulating, rewarding careers. People are the currency of the nuclear sector and we are determined to cultivate diversity, innovation and collaboration across all we do.
