We are also guardians of the UK's largest stockpile of nuclear materials. In the past, we have been responsible for breakthroughs such as the world's first full-scale commercial nuclear power station, and today we are helping secure the country's future by safely receiving and storing spent nuclear fuel from the UK's fleet of power stations.
