UKAEA aims
UKAEA's main task is to decommission sites used in Britain's civil nuclear research programme and restore them for conventional use. UKAEA also operates Europe's leading fusion device, JET, and conducts the UK's fusion research programme at Culham Science Centre in Oxfordshire.
UKAEA aims to deliver its work programme in both areas in a way that is safe, environmentally responsible, value for money and publicly acceptable. In order to do so, UKAEA seeks the help of competent contractors, whilst maintaining overall control of its sites. By doing this, it is able to work closely with its contractors to the benefit of all concerned.
With external expenditure of around £300 million per year UKAEA offers a wide range of openings for contractors. It aims to keep contractors briefed on the contracts it is putting to competition through the contract opportunities advertised weekly. Contract Opportunities
