AWE responds to National Audit Office report

AWE has strengthened its strategic partnership with The University of Manchester, through the launch of the Actinides Centre of Excellence (ACE) – a new centre being created at the university to grow world-leading capability in actinides science and related nuclear research. 

A team of physicists, including scientists from AWE, has demonstrated for the first time a practical route to dramatically increasing the intensity of radiation achievable in the laboratory, an area of research that has enduring relevance to AWE’s mission.

This appointment recognises a distinguished career spanning military leadership, national infrastructure, and some of the UK’s most critical defence and resilience programmes.
