The main role of the Harwell laboratory is to develop technology for the UK nuclear power industry, and this work is funded by the Parliamentary vote of the UKAEA. The very wide range of knowledge and skills necessary to fulfil this requirement has resulted in an R&D expertise which is a major national asset. For the last ten or more years Harwell has directed its expertise to the widest possible range of UK industry and has evolved into one of the largest contract R&D organisations in the world. Work done under contract for both government and industry now exceeds nuclear work, with commercial earnings amounting to some £30 million a year and accounting for 60 per cent of all Harwell's expenditure.
