Project Overview. This exciting PhD project will be part of an interdisciplinary collaboration involving hadron physicists, nuclear physicists, chemists, and magnetic resonance (MR) scientists. Read more
Multiscale investigation of corrosion deposition in high temperature high pressure water for nuclear power plants
Saturn_Nuclear_CDT. We are pleased to present an exciting PhD opportunity in collaboration with Rolls-Royce, providing a unique chance for candidates to participate in a multiscale investigation of corrosion deposition in high-temperature, high-pressure water for nuclear power plants. Read more
Algorithm development and simulation of ultrafast dynamics on quantum computer for chemistry
Quantum computing is a rapidly emerging technology that fundamentally changes the way we model materials, demands a re-thinking of algorithm design, and is poised to advance simulations in chemistry, physics and biology. Read more
PhD in Chemistry - PhD in Novel Synthetic Strategies for Nuclear Materials Monitoring & Cleanup
Start date. Position is expected to begin from April but may be available sooner. Passionate and curious candidates are invited to apply for a 3.5 year PhD position available to commence as soon as possible in the Bell Group (BellGroupLabs.com), in the School of Chemistry, at the University of Glasgow. Read more
Next-generation low-carbon cement wasteforms for safe disposal of radioactive waste
Saturn_Nuclear_CDT. Nuclear power provides 20% of UK energy demand, and is central to UK Energy Security and Net Zero policies, however, it also generates significant amounts of radioactive waste. Read more
Modelling nuclear graphite waste smouldering: A novel approach to managing a highly challenging waste stream
The UK’s fleet of Advanced Gas-cooled Reactors (AGRs) utilises graphite moderator bricks, which become radiologically contaminated – primarily with Carbon-14 (C-14) and other radionuclides such as Co60 – through transmutation over decades of operation. Read more
A novel low-energy technique for cleaning up radioactively contaminated soils
Saturn_Nuclear_CDT. Nuclear energy will play a key role in the UK’s strategy to achieve net zero carbon by 2050. However, the high cost and intergenerational burden of decommissioning and waste management remains high and there is a need to reduce the costs of decommissioning and clean-up. Read more
Low Carbon Cements for Construction and Encapsulation
Saturn_Nuclear_CDT. Background. The buildings & construction sector accounts for 37% of global carbon dioxide emissions, with concrete production accounting for approximately 6-8% of global emissions, significantly impacting global climate and the environment. Read more
Defining the state-of-the-art in X-ray and electron spectroscopies for discerning the characteristic electronic structure of actinide materials
An EPSRC centre for doctoral training sponsored PhD studentship is available to undertake research in the field of actinide X-ray and electron spectroscopy in a collaborative project between AWE and two research groups at the University of Manchester. Read more
Atomistic insight into the interactions of small molecules with PuO2 surfaces
The safe long-term storage of spent nuclear fuel is of paramount importance. Crucial to this is understanding the interactions between absorbed gases and water with the surfaces of PuO. Read more
Understanding the influence of vanadium on the behaviour of Zr alloys during irradiation
The Zr group is a large welcoming team of researchers that focus on tackling industrially significant issues with regards to nuclear power. Read more
Beyond Born–Oppenheimer: Non-adiabatic effects in accurate nuclear motion calculations of polyatomic molecules
Nonadiabatic effects are crucial in many areas of physics and chemistry, especially where the Born-Oppenheimer approximation - the separation of electronic and nuclear motions - fails. Read more
Towards net zero: Materials characterisation to improve the chemical safety case for deep geological disposal of waste
Saturn_Nuclear_CDT. Nuclear energy is a clean energy source with one of the smallest carbon footprints which produces more electricity on less land than any other clean energy source, such as windfarms. Read more
