Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
To apply the principles of geotechnical engineering to optimise methods of oxide-based nuclear waste processing. Two strands are involved, namely a) definition of appropriate non-toxic simulants and b) finite element analyses of various stages of waste treatment, from removal of sludge from long-term storage to processing into dry package form.EngProg\
