Report and accounts of the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority for the year ended 31 March 1988. Revised ed.

Over the year reviewed, three major changes in the Authority's structure and organisation were made. These are designed to secure a coherent nuclear energy research programme that meets customers needs, to develop new areas of business and to monitor the quality and scientific standards of research within the Authority. The technical report section covers a summary of the 1987-8 position of advanced gas-cooled reactors, pressurized water reactor safety research, the Winfrith reactor, fusion, fuel cycle research, general nuclear safety research, nuclear instrumentation, radiological protection research, safeguards research, underlying research, decommissioning and waste management operations and the fast reactor programme based on the Dounreay prototype fast reactor. Industrial and Environmental technology includes a variety of topics including oil and gas technology and the development of renewable energy sources, especially wind power. The work of each of the Authority's establishments is summarized. There is a separate booklet on the Winfrith research establishment. The accounts for the year to 31 March 1988 are presented. (U.K.)
