Hi folks, It’s nice to be able to keep in touch with my retired workmates. Just a little about me: I trained as a craft apprentice Via Winfrith and based at RCC Amersham then transferred to AERE Harwell for Drawing office training followed by appointment as design draughtsman in Research Reactors. I spent around 20 years providing experimental in-pile rigs for the UK Fuels program. Following the shutdown of the reactors I spent some years looking Harwell’s Main Site facilities under care and maintenance and being involved in decommissioning activities. You might say after playing with my toys for a while I spent the last few years helping to put them safely away. I manage, as far as is possible, to keep in touch with my ex work mates. Sadly a few have passed away in recent years. Hopefully by joining this site I will continue to do so. All the best john
Hi John, a much delayed response. I imagine my grandfather was a few years before you but you could have crossed paths. He worked in the Research Reactors Division as head of design at B521… I think. Do let me know if you crossed paths!
Does anyone remember Roy Collins who worked at Harwell between 1957 to the early 60s. We lived in one of the prefabs just by the primary school and next to the secondary school playing fields?
