(SATURN CDT) Prediction and Mitigation of Flow-Induced Vibration in Nuclear Thermowell Instrumentation for Current and Next-Generation Reactors

Saturn_Nuclear_CDT. UoM_Nuclear. The Challenge. Temperature measurement is not glamorous — until it fails. In a nuclear power plant, a thermowell is the slender protective sheath that keeps a temperature sensor alive inside a pipe carrying coolant at 350°C, 150 bar, and flow velocities exceeding 10 m/s. Read more
 Supervisors: Dr S Fichera, Prof R Poole, Dr S Timme
 Year round applications  PhD Research Project  Competition Funded PhD Project (UK Students Only)

(SATURN CDT) Flexible SiC–MOF Nanocomposite Foam for Efficient Retrieval and Immobilisation of Nuclear Residuals

Saturn_Nuclear_CDT. The UK faces a critical engineering challenge in safely decommissioning its nuclear legacy. While bulk radioactive materials can often be removed from tanks, vessels and pipework, small but hazardous residual “heels” remain trapped in confined and inaccessible geometries. Read more
 Supervisors: Dr Y Chen, Dr HR Rajabi, Prof M Patel
 Year round applications  PhD Research Project  Competition Funded PhD Project (UK Students Only)
More details

(SATURN CDT) Decarbonising nuclear infrastructure through CO2-absorbing and crack-free concrete

Saturn_Nuclear_CDT. UoM_Nuclear. Nuclear power generates about 15-20% of the UK’s electricity, producing radioactive waste that must be securely contained over long timescales. Read more
