Engineering (nuclear physics) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

We have 36 Engineering (nuclear physics) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

Novel phosphate cement chemistries and materials for safe storage of uranium-based nuclear waste

Applications are invited for a PhD scholarship funded by Nuclear Waste Services (NWS) (a subsidiary of the UK Nuclear Decommissioning Authority), on the project titled “Long-Term Performance of PO4-Based Backfill Cements in Repository Environments for DNLEU Disposal (PO4DNLEU)”. Read more

Developing a framework for regulatory conformance of innovative experimental nuclear reactor

Molten Salt Reactors (MSRs) are a next-generation nuclear reactor technology outlined by Generation IV International Forum, fulfilling sustainability, economics, safety, and proliferation resistance goals. Read more

Experimental Investigation of Singular Two-phase Pressure Losses Relevant to Nuclear System Thermal-hydraulic Applications

A fully funded 4-year EPSRC ICASE PhD Studentship, co-sponsored by Westinghouse, is available in the Nuclear Futures Institute at Bangor University to design and perform experiments at the THOR loop to measure two-phase pressure drop across selected simple geometrical singularities within a relevant range of conditions. Read more

Characterization of Vacancy-Related Point Defects in Nuclear Materials

The importance of both Fusion and Fission Nuclear Energy Technologies is growing. The materials used must be resilient to high levels of typically neutron and gamma-ray radiation. Read more

Understanding strain localisation around hydrides in irradiated zirconium alloys

Are you someone with a passion to continue learning? Do you believe a career is about putting something back into the world? Does having access to some of the UK’s newest and best research facilities make you feel like a kid in a toy shop? Consider becoming a part of our team!. Read more

Laser spectroscopy of isotopes for nuclear environments

Measurements of isotopes and isotope ratios are important in many areas of science and engineering including the nuclear industry, nuclear forensics, environmental sciences and also in medicine. Read more

Inspection of nuclear fusion components in high temperature using laser induced ultrasound phase arrays

This PhD project will face the challenges of ultrasonic imaging of nuclear fusion components using lasers to generate and detect ultrasound, remotely and in a series of environmental conditions with respect to temperature for the first time. Read more

Fuel Retention and Release Mechanisms in Breeder Blanket Materials for Nuclear Fusion Devices

With climate change driving a desire to move towards a low-carbon/carbon-free energy landscape, power generated from nuclear fusion offers a high-capacity, baseload electricity generation for the future. Read more

Numerical investigation of MHD systems coupling the induction formulation with thermal models

The department of Astronautical, Electrical and Energy Engineering at the Sapienza University of Rome is inviting applications for the following fully funded PhD project/studentship, expected to commence November 2024. Read more
