AEA Technology
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
AEA Technology plc was formed in 1996 as the privatised offshoot of the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority. Originally it consisted of divisions with expertise in a wide variety of areas, mostly the products of nuclear-related research. These included nuclear safety, nuclear engineering, environmental protection, battery technology and non-destructive testing. It mainly acted as a contractor organisation for UKAEA and other governmental and private customers.
AEA Technology is now focusing on its Energy & Environment business. The company has divested all of the nuclear-related elements of the business, and sold its Rail business (now called DeltaRail Group Ltd) in September 2006.
The company's main UK operations are located at Harwell (head office), London, Risley and Glengarnock.
