Abstract
The Atomic Weapons Establishment (AWE) has been responsible for the United Kingdom’s nuclear deterrent for more than 50 years. Its work covers the entire development lifecycle – from the initial research and design, through manufacture, in- service support and, finally, decommissioning and disposal. In order to maintain its reputation as a world-class company, AWE upholds strict working procedures and demands high standards.
