PhD Studentship: Investigating porosity changes and stress mechanics of corroding nuclear wastes under confined expansion

overall porosity increase and volume expansion have only been observed in unconfined cases, where reaction rates are appreciable. This PhD project will work alongside leading teams within the University

PhD Studentship: An investigation on the tribochemical surface interactions of molten salt reactors

considered. Subject Area Applied Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry, Synthetic Chemistry, Fluid Mechanics, Manufacturing Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Nuclear Physics

PhD Studentship: Modelling of precipitation reactors in the reprocessing of spent nuclear fuel

process and resulting crystal properties. This PhD project builds on our previous studies on the precipitation of Ca and Ce oxalates as simulants. It aims to address challenges associated with

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
