- Graphite is of importance as a moderator and key structural component in the UK’s civil nuclear fleet. The novel methods presented in this paper have been used to challenge the current microstructural modelling used by the nuclear stakeholders (EDF - Contact: Dr J Reed) that underpin safety cases and to support UK regulator (ONR - contact Dr M Bamber) with independent research. This has enabled safe operation of the UK’s nuclear fleet which has a value of £14Bn/annum. It has led to invited keynote presentations including at the IAEA (INGSM 17, Sept 2016) and in South Korea.
