The UK Atomic Energy Authority was formed in 1954 when the British Government set up a new body to oversee the nation's nuclear research programme. However, the role of the group has evolved and today it has become a world leader both in decommissioning and regenerating nuclear sites and in developing fusion as a sustainable, secure and carbon-free energy source.
By the time the Prototype Fast Reactor closed at Dounreay in 1994, UKAEA had already turned its attention to this new task; by concentrating on the restoration of the environment at its sites as reactors finished operating.
