The National Nuclear Laboratory (NNL) is the UK’s leading centre for civil nuclear research and development. Owned by the UK Government, NNL operates independently with a national workforce supporting the full nuclear fuel cycle, from reactor operations and waste management to nuclear medicine and clean energy innovation.
With facilities across key sites such as Warrington, Sellafield, and Harwell, NNL plays a central role in advancing nuclear technologies, including small modular reactors and advanced modular reactors. Collaborating with government, industry, and academia, NNL supports national energy security, net-zero goals, and the safe development of nuclear science and technology.
