 United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority was established in 1954 as a statutory corporation to oversee and pioneer the development of nuclear energy within the United Kingdom.
In the late 1980s the UKAEA was put into 'trading fund' mode, where it was required to act and account as though it were a commercial enterprise.
In the 1990s the Authority was split, with the more commercial parts transferred into a public company AEA Technology, which was then floated on the London Stock Exchange, while the parts directly related to nuclear liabilities that would need decommissioning were retained.

 Atomic Energy Act and Related Legislation   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
The AEA and the statutes that amended it delegate the control of nuclear energy primarily to DOE, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
In 1959 Section 274 was added to the AEA to spell out a state role and to provide a statutory basis under which the federal government could relinquish portions of its regulatory authority to the states.
The mechanism for the transfer of NRC's authority to a state is an agreement between the governor of the state and the NRC.

 [No title]
California's ban on the construction of nuclear power plants frustrates the Atomic Energy Act's purpose to develop the commercial use of nuclear power A. A primary purpose of the Atomic Energy Act is to promote the commercial use of nuclear power B. California's Nuclear Laws frustrate this purpose of the Atomic Energy Act 1.
Although the NRC's authority was discussed in terms of protecting the public against radiation hazards, neither Section 274(k) nor the other provisions in the amendment conferred on the states the authority to afford the public greater protection than the NRC found warranted.
In this case the claim is that the authority California has given its legislature in fact does conflict with the exclusive authority given by the Atomic Energy Act to the NRC, and is "contradictory and repugnant" to the purposes of the Act.

 Lords Hansard text for 19 May 1995 (150519-01)
Therefore, the authority was empowered in 1965 to carry out non-nuclear research and development, and in 1974 its powers were further extended in order to allow it to work in the environmental field.
Because the authority's commercial activities were growing in importance, the decision was taken some 10 years ago to put the whole organisation on a trading fund basis.
Its purpose is to enable AEA Technology to exploit the opportunities which are there for it to grasp, and to enable it to realise its full potential as a business and as a valuable national asset which will be capable of making a greater contribution to the national economy.
