In line with current guidance from UK Government, the UK Atomic Energy Authority has now resumed work on some key projects, which need to progress to enable UKAEA to meet important deadlines.

Staff working on these projects are following strict UKAEA protocols (adhering to Government advice) to ensure they are safe. All staff who can work from home continue to do so, with UKAEA’s remote access systems working well.

UKAEA is continuing to support suppliers so we can ensure service continuity during and after the current COVID-19 outbreak. This will enable all suppliers to be better able to cope with the current crisis; to resume service delivery and fulfil their contractual obligations when the outbreak is over. Please refer to this link and contact UKAEA procurement team for any further advice or assistance: procurement@ukaea.uk.

Please note that, as you would expect in the circumstances, all events on site, including public open evenings and educational tours, are cancelled until further notice. However, we are running a series of online events during the lockdown - please see the Culham Centre for Fusion Energy visits page for details.

We will issue further updates when the situation changes.
