Redeployment and diversification at Harwell

Philip Gummett and Michael Gibbons

Omega, 1978, vol. 6, issue 1, 65-69

Abstract: Between 1967 and 1974 the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Research Establishment, Harwell, underwent a major transformation. Faced with a declining workload under the atomic energy programme, the laboratory has succeeded, not without difficulties, in defining and implementing a new mission to assist British industry to become more competitive. Within a declining staff total, the proportion of staff employed on this new mission, under contract to government departments and industrial firms, has risen to about 50%.
