The United Kingdom is a world leader in nuclear research and development and the Government is committed to maintaining and building on our lead in this important field. The Government has indicated that that it wishes to continue collaboration in nuclear research with UK medical physicists and European Union partners. We welcome dialogue with the EU and Euratom on options for future collaboration in this field and look forward to those discussions beginning in due course.
