- Additional information
- NNL/NDA/EPSRC co-funded through iCASE 06000302, the significance of this study of peroxide-driven corrosion of simulated UO2-contamination-on-steel lies in its provision of new insights into the behaviour of the exotic studtite phase, informing design of peroxide-based decontamination techniques. Findings led directly to: an EPSRC/NDA project on the creation and corrosion study of spent UO2 fuel simulants during geological disposal (£220k, EP/1036400/1); three EPSRC/NNL/RWM-funded PhDs (EP/L015390/1, NNL80335803, RWM230) to study same under storage conditions (including placement into NNL Windscale to compare simulants with real fuel); and the award of £750k to create a national facility for fabrication of spent fuel simulants (EP/T011416/1).
