Our dedicated research base, the Dalton Cumbrian Facility, based on Westlakes Science Park in West Cumbria, provides academia and industry the opportunity to carry out high-end research in radiation science and nuclear engineering decommissioning.

Our facilities allow scientists to simulate several decades of in-service exposure in an operating environment, providing important data for lifetime behaviour predictions and models.

Visiting researchers have support from our experimental team as well as access to analytical and inspection laboratories, meeting rooms and hot desks in our research office.

We are part of:

The EPSRC UK National Ion Beam Centre, providing a single point of access for the UK research community to ion beam modification and analysis infrastructure and expertise.
The Henry Royce Institute, the UK National Centre for Research and Innovation of Advanced Materials.
