UK National Nuclear Laboratory

NNL is the UK’s national laboratory for nuclear fission 

Harnessing nuclear science to help solve some of the world’s biggest challenges – from achieving deep decarbonisation to delivering lifesaving healthcare 

Leveraging the UK’s rich nuclear heritage to address issues of critical national importance and support regional growth.

Government owned but operationally independent, we’ve built our identity as the UK’s technical authority on fission. Promoting UK skills and interests whilst tackling global challenges.

With four world-leading laboratories in the NW of England, we have a unique set of capabilities, enabling ground-breaking nuclear research and development.

Without nuclear, the UK will not meet its net zero goals on time – and without NNL’s work, the UK nuclear sector cannot deliver what is required.

Alongside customers and partners in government, academia and the supply chain, we’re building a new clear future for the UK and the planet.
