The Authority has a requirement for the provision of a Radiological Dosimetry Service at Culham Science Centre.

The UK Atomic Enrergy Authority is a non-departmental government body carrying out research into the potential of nuclear fusion as a source of energy.

The Authority operates MAST and JET, which forms part of the UK and European Fusion Programme with the aim of magnetically confining and studying the behaviour of a plasma in conditions and dimensions approaching those required in a fusion reactor.

MAST Upgrade is a programme designed to update the machine and push the limits of operations even closer.

With radiological hazards, including ionising and non-ionising radiation, there is a requirment to have an Approved Dosimetry Service (ADS) to undertake assessment and record-keeping of radiation doses received by classified and non-classified persons.
