Advanced Material Development and Assessment of Cementitious Filler Materials for Long-Term Disposal of Nuclear Waste
How can concrete materials (the most utilized material in the world) offer unique solutions to the nuclear fuel cycle? How can we leverage modern cement… Read more
GREENCDT Environmental radiochemistry to support criticality safety of nuclear waste disposal: investigating the co-mobility of actinides and neutron poisons
A fully-funded PhD studentship is available to a graduate with interests in radiochemistry and radioactive waste challenges. Disposal of nuclear legacy waste is one of the biggest scientific and engineering challenges of the 21st Century. Read more
GREENCDT Time-Temperature Transformation Phase Diagrams for Developing Advanced Glass Ceramic Nuclear Waste forms
The purpose of this project is to understand nucleation and growth of ceramic phases in UK’s waste glasses in order to develop monolith glass-ceramic (GC) wasteforms to immobilize critical fission products (FP) that otherwise phase segregate out of the glass matrix. Read more
PhD studentship in in situ imaging and diffraction of dual-phase zeolite composites for nuclear waste remediation.
Applications are sought for a PhD project under the supervision of Dr Phoebe Allan at the University of Birmingham, Dr Sharif Ahmed and Dr Joe Hriljac at Diamond Light Source, and Dr Tom Carey at the National Nuclear Laboratory. Read more
Synthesis and real time observation of radiation damage and corrosion of engineered ceramic nuclear waste forms
Background. Owing to large scale reprocessing of spent nuclear fuel there is a significant inventory of plutonium in the UK. Storage and final disposal of plutonium is one of the most complex challenges facing the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) in dealing with the UK’s nuclear legacy. Read more

Field, laboratory and modelling constraints on fluid transport in fractured mudrocks with a focus on chemical self-healing
Predicting the retention of hydrogen gas in the subsurface is a cross cutting issue with relevance to energy storage, hydrogen prospecting, and the disposal of radioactive wastes. Read more
In-situ disposal of cementitious wastes at UK nuclear sites
This fully funded UK Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) PhD bursary provides an exciting opportunity to pursue postgraduate research relating to waste management during the decommissioning of UK nuclear sites. Read more
PhD in Chemistry - Multi-metallic Actinide Complexes: Functional Molecules and Nuclear Materials
Applications are invited for a fully funded 3.5 year PhD studentship with an October 2023 start in the Farnaby group at the University of Glasgow. Read more
Estimating chemical toxicity to wildlife – helping to dispose of our radioactive wastes
We are seeking a highly motivated individual to carry out a 4-year PhD project to develop an approach for estimating chemical toxicity to wildlife in support of the UK’s radioactive waste disposal activities by empowering decision making and building confidence around our ability to deal with radioactive and non-radioactive wastes in the long-term.
