The Nuclear Energy Department (within the Foreign and Commonwealth Office) was created in 1982 when relevant areas separated from the Energy Department FCO. Leading on International Energy Policy (including, uranium enrichment and procurement, reprocessing, safeguards and nuclear exports) the department worked with organisations such as the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the Nuclear Energy Agency and The European Atomic Energy Community (EAEC or Euratom). The department closed in 1988 when the work of NED was absorbed into the Science Energy and Nuclear Department.
