- This work with EDF (grant 4840360333) involved studies of the structural integrity of the graphite bricks that comprise the reactor core of the UK’s nuclear power plants. This contributed to Pearce being awarded the Royal Academy of Engineering / EDF research Chair (RCSRF1516218). The method was implemented within the open-source code MoFEM http://mofem.eng.gla.ac.uk, the software of choice for EDF and Jacobs in the development of future safety cases for life extension for the UK’s ageing advanced gas-cooled reactors. The research led to invited presentations at https://www.gla.ac.uk/research/az/gcec/cmcs2019/ and https://www.synergietraining.co.uk/schedule/nupp-2017-1st-international-conference-on-nuclear-power-plantsstructures-risk-decommissioning/.
