- Additional information
- Funded as part of DISTINCTIVE (Decommissioning, Immobilisation and Storage SoluTIons for NuClear wasTe InVEntories) university/industry consortium (EPSRC EP/L014041/1, 2014-18), showed that different corrosion mechanisms occur above and below the waterline in partially submerged glass, potentially affecting wasteform longevity and so safety cases for geological repositories. Preliminary work led to follow-on funding as part of UK/Japan consortium to develop wasteforms for Fukushima wastes (Advanced Waste Management Strategies for High Dose Spent Absorbents EP/N017579/1, 2015-18), and invitation for Lee to serve on US National Academies Committee looking into clean-up of US contaminated nuclear defense sites which reported to Congress Feb 2019 (https://www.nap.edu/catalog/25338).
