About the Project

The safe retrieval, transport and processing of radioactive waste slurries is one of the most significant engineering challenges in nuclear decommissioning. ... The outcomes will be a validated predictive simulation tool with direct relevance to decommissioning and waste management, together with fundamental new understanding of how particle-scale collision mechanics influence bulk transport behaviour in turbulent flows.
