Project Short Description

Graphite has been used as moderator material predominantly in UK reactors for the past 70  years, now the operation of many of these reactors have ceased there are an estimated to be 100,000 tonnes of irradiated graphite requiring decommissioning. Over the past seven years the NGRG has made significant contributions in the treatment and characterisation of irradiated graphite post reactor closure through major involvement with large FP7 Euroatom projects and IAEA programs. The group currently has two controlled laboratories and three supervised laboratories dedicated to graphite research that contain an extensive amount of experimental apparatus. This project is part of a new £1.6M consortium with the University of Manchester and major industrial partners including Bradtech, Hyder, Studsvik and Costain and is sponsored by the Technology Strategy Board. The motivation is to develop research level understanding of the thermal gasification of irradiated graphite waste scalable through to industrial application with assistance from the industrial partners.
We seek a motivated graduate in Engineering, Materials, Chemistry or Physics to undertake a PhD Studentship in Nuclear Graphite Decommissioning.

The project ambitions are to develop an alternative route to geological disposal by fully treating and immobilising irradiated graphite, Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences from reactor cores through to Carbon Capture of the off-gases. The PhD student will develop and perform experimental studies on the complete crushing and gasification lab scale nuclear graphite samples. In addition the student will have the opportunity to develop radiochemical speciation processes for 14C and 36Cl analysis along side with a PDRA. The successful student will have the opportunity to liaise closely with the industrial partners in order to develop a scalable research project and will also be encouraged to publish their research findings in a selection of high quality journals.

Project Details

The student will work along side of the NGRG team and will gain training in radioactive protection and handling, as well as experience in developing and utilising experimental systems instrumentation in a research setting. The successful applicant will gain an understanding of material behaviour, in order to meeting the project’s deliverables, which include:

  • Developing a program of for particle size reduction of graphite within the laboratories of the NGRG for final gasification.
  • the preparation of reports and project documents for industrial partners
  • Publish research findings in high quality scientific journals
  • Networking and interaction with other universities, similar research centres, and the nuclear industry.
