UKAEA Culham

UKAEA Culham
The UK's home of fusion research has a new name: the Culham Centre for Fusion Energy (CCFE).
The
launch of CCFE is part of wider organisational changes at its parent
body, the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority, whose decommissioning
sector has been sold to Babcock International. The Authority has taken
the opportunity ...to rebrand its fusion operation, giving it a clearer
identity that reflects its mission.
