  United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) - United Kingdom Nuclear Forces
The United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) is responsible for the UK nuclear energy and weapons R&D programme, including the Prototype Fast Reactor; radioactive waste disposal; nuclear fuel reprocessing; fusion research; and the development of its sites as science and technology centres.
UKAEA is responsible caring for and, at the appropriate time, safely dismantling active facilities no longer in use; disposing of radioactive waste in an environmentally acceptable way; ensuring the security of nuclear facilities and materials; and carrying out fusion research.
In September 1997 the UKAEA awarded its largest decommissioning contract to date.

  UK Atomic Energy Authority Constabulary - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority Constabulary was the armed security police force of the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority.
On 1 April 2005, the Civil Nuclear Constabulary (CNC) was established in adherence to the Energy Act 2004, replacing the UKAEA Constabulary largely due to the fact that a number of nuclear sites were poorly guarded, and that a force with more specialist attributes was needed to combat the possibility of terrorist threats.
The armed force is now made up of 650 personnel (the majority of whom were from the UKAEA Constabulary), protecting seven atomic sites and protecting transportation of nuclear materials around the United Kingdom.

 United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) 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, 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.

 MAGNOHARD LIMITED AND OTHERS v. THE UNITED KINGDOM ATOMIC ENERGY AUTHORITY+THE SCOTTISH ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION AGENCY, ...
Junior counsel for the UKAEA had stated that there would have been no challenge to the competency of the present action had the petitioners proceeded by way of a summons: but as section 45 referred specifically to an application by summary petition, junior counsel's position on that point was untenable.
Thereafter it was for the UKAEA either to satisfy the court that they had complied with their obligations, or to address the court on circumstances relevant to their non-performance.
The UKAEA accept (by admission at the bar during the first hearing) that the particles are "nuclear matter" and (by admission in the pleadings at page 20E of the Record) that the particles are "radioactive waste".

When AEA was formally created by the Atomic Energy Authority Act 1954, its central role was to lead the development of nuclear technology in the United Kingdom.
We have recommended that after the Government's review of the future of nuclear power in the United Kingdom in 1994, it should look at the possibility of a financial reconstruction with existing restructuring-related borrowing being wholly or partly written off.
It was not until four years after the change to trading fund status that AEA began to move towards standardisation of procedures for collection, classification and allocation of site service department costs, although it had been recognised that such standardisation would facilitate monitoring and control of costs.
