Events in Physics
The RCUK Energy Programme (RCUKEP), led by EPSRC, would like to encourage the participation of UK researchers in the current .
In particular the RCUKEP will support the UK component of proposals including US/UK collaboration in the following specific areas from Appendix A of the US call document:
- Radioisotope Retention in Graphite and Graphitic Materials (RC-2)
- Materials Ageing and Degradation (RC-5)
- Reactor Safety Technologies (RC-7)
- Advanced Waste forms (FC-1.3) including; Waste forms development- Thermodynamics of waste glasses and melts (FC-1.3a), Fuel Processing Off-Gas Management- Tritium separations technology (FC-1.3b), Fuel processing Off-Gas management- Rb interaction with container materials (FC-1.3c).
- Advanced Fuels (FC-2) including; Reactor pool side non-destructive characterization techniques for advanced fuel concepts (FC-2.1) and Extreme performance metal alloy cladding for fast reactors (FC-2.2), critical heat flux for accident tolerant fuels (FC-2.3).
- Used Nuclear fuel disposition: Disposal (FC-4).
- Nuclear Energy Advanced modelling and simulation (NEAMS-1) including only; NEAMS 1.1 (Atomistic and mesoscale modelling and simulation of nuclear fuels, cladding and reactor structural materials), NEAMS 1.2 (Macroscale fuel performance), NEAMS 1.4 (Thermal Hydraulics) and NEAMS 1.5 (Structural Mechanics).
