The École des applications militaires de l'énergie atomique (EAMEA), also known as the Atomic School, is a military higher education establishment located in Cherbourg-en-Cotentin, which trains officers of the French Army and National Gendarmerie in nuclear science, technology and safety. EAMEA trains atomic engineers in the fields of naval propulsion and nuclear weapons. The EAMEA also trains non-commissioned officers who are involved in radiological protection for the Ministry of the Armed Forces, particularly for the French Navy, personnel working on nuclear-powered vessels (such as nuclear-powered submarines, SSNs, SSBNs, and the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier), as well as personnel at support bases where the home ports for these nuclear-powered vessels are located. They are responsible for managing radiological surveillance of personnel in facilities storing spare naval equipment containing radionuclides, and ensuring radiological protection for maintenance personnel in these logistics and maintenance facilities that may operate in regulated access areas. The EAMEA also trains agents from the French Ministry of the Interior. The school trains around 900 students a year and employs 50 teachers and researchers.

Brécourt was a Nazi Germany V-1 launching pad in Équeurdreville-Hainneville near Cherbourg, in Manche of Normandy, northern France. It was by far the largest V-1 launch complex ever built by the Luftwaffe, and the only one to feature two launching pads from the outset: one protected, the other underground. It was also the only large site to have been successively assigned to two different V-weapons: from July to December 1943 to the V-2 rocket, and from January 1944 to the V-1 flying bomb. Originally built by the French Navy as underground fuel oil storage tunnels, the Brécourt facility was repurposed during World War II by the German Army to store V-2 rockets. At the end of 1943, the Luftwaffe took over the site and used it as a launch pad for V-1 flying bombs to attack the Bristol harbour. The launch pad, though not fully completed, was captured by American forces in July 1944.

The village was originally about 1 km inland, with only a few fishing huts on the long beach.
