Abstract
I have been asked to discuss the type of knowledge and training that would be expected, and the use that might be made of graduates in atomic and nuclear physics by a present day industrial research establishment. Rather than attempting to rank the different parts of the university curriculum in relative importance, I thought that you could gain a better overall picture if I sketched the history and some of the problems encountered by a research team set up in 1947, specifically to provide a group knowledgeable in the field of nuclear physics and capable of advising an industry on matters relating to nuclear energy. Although in the last twelve months this unit has been much concerned with the design of a small research reactor, in 1947, at its formation, the only entry to the subject appeared to be by carrying out an academic programme of research in nuclear physics.
