- Additional information
- A mechanism is highlighted confirming observations of the degradation of a promising commercial nuclear fuel to be used internationally in water reactors. Prompted further research improving the material’s behaviour (including patent: “A nuclear fuel pellet, a fuel rod, and a fuel assembly” WO2018206234). Results contributed to collaboration with the National Nuclear Laboratory's £8 million funding from Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy - Bangor will receive ~£150k (d.goddard@nnl.gov.uk). Output supported award of the Nuclear Energy Futures CDT (EP/S023844/1), and invitation to organise symposium at 2019 Fall MRS in Boston: “Structure–Property Processing Performance Relationships in Materials for Nuclear Technologies”.
