The department's nuclear reactor Jason was the first to be installed in any College in Britain. The laboratories are well equipped for all aspects of nuclear, reactor and health physics. Much of the work of the department is of a post-graduate nature with research by the staff into such fields as reactor shielding and instrumentation, health physics, neutron diffusion, reactor kinetics and systems approach to reactor engineering. The courses which the department runs are restricted to naval officers, Navy Department civilian personnel and to employees of firms contracted to the Ministry of Defence.

Postscript
The site in 2017 is managed by the Greenwich Foundation for the Old Royal Naval College, set up in July 1998 as a registered charity to "look after these magnificent buildings and their grounds for the benefit of the nation". The buildings were originally constructed to serve as the Royal Hospital for Seamen at Greenwich, now generally known as Greenwich Hospital, which was designed by Christopher Wren, and built between 1696 and 1712. The hospital closed in 1869. Between 1873 and 1998 it was the Royal Naval College, Greenwich.
