The United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority (AEA), has pioneered the development of civil nuclear energy in the United Kingdom.

Harwell was the site of the UK’s first nuclear reactor. Harwell was also a centre of early fusion research in the 1950s. Britain’s original large-scale experimental device, ZETA, was housed in one of the RAF hangars at this site.
