NNL is the UK’s national laboratory for nuclear fission. We are a Public Sector Research Establishment, Government owned (through the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero) but operationally independent.
We are custodians of a unique set of facilities and capabilities that enable ground-breaking nuclear research and development – including four world-leading laboratories in the North-West of England. Our facilities are of national strategic importance and are operated for the benefit of academia and industry. They form a vital part of the UK’s nuclear Research, Development and Innovation ecosystem.
Our purpose is to harness ‘Nuclear Science to Benefit Society’. We channel our work into four strategic areas: Clean Energy, Health & Nuclear Medicine, Environmental Restoration and Security & Non-Proliferation.
