- This work by Middleburgh’s PhD student (King) advanced use of high entropy alloys (HEAs) in Advanced Modular nuclear Reactors (AMRs) including fusion tokamaks. Led to significant follow-on funding through two BEIS funded projects focusing on understanding material behaviour in molten-lead (AMR) through Westinghouse (£300k) and the National Nuclear Laboratory (NNL, £150k). The NNL also sponsored a PhD student through CDT (EP/S023844/1) to understand role of HEAs in water reactors. Tokamak Energy sponsor 2 Masters students related to HEAs for their fusion reactor concept and, with Middleburgh, attained US-DOE funding to support development through the INFUSE programme on related materials ($315k).
