PhD Studentship: Preparing Corroded Magnox Fuel Waste for Long Term Storage: Rheology Mapping of Complex Fluids

.  Encapsulating the sludge for long term storage is a high priority for the industry. To mobilize and process the material it is important to understand its rheological properties and how rheology is modified when

PhD Studentship: Developing a digital twin for validation of packing optimisers used for nuclear decommissioning

, comprising a robotic packing setup and a digital twin (DT), such that packing simulation models can be plugged in to be tested, verified and corrected. The physical twin is a simple setup (consisting of a

PhD Studentship: Probabilistic corrosion analysis for secure long-term geological disposal of nuclear waste in high-chloride environments

natural and engineered barriers for secure storage. Crucial to this process are robust containers manufactured from materials such as stainless or carbon steel, shielded by backfill materials consisting

PhD Studentship: Modular intensified ion exchange utilising agitated tubular reactors

decontamination of process liquids and cooling ponds is common to almost all current and future nuclear power plants. However, the main method used to remove radioisotopes and other heavy metals – ion exchange
