National Nuclear Laboratory

As the UK’s national laboratory for nuclear fission, NNL is harnessing nuclear science to help solve some of the world’s biggest challenges.

Our purpose is ‘nuclear science to benefit society’ and we channel our work into four Focus Areas: Clean Energy, Health and Nuclear Medicine, Environmental Restoration and Security and Non-Proliferation. These strategic 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 ground-breaking nuclear research and development, comprising four world-leading laboratories in North West England, a base in Wales and research sites at Risley in Cheshire, Stonehouse in Gloucestershire and Culham in Oxfordshire.

We have a reputation as a home for stimulating, rewarding careers and are building a culture where everybody feels valued and can flourish.
