Fully-Funded PhD Scholarship in UK Radioactive Waste Thermal Treatment and Environmental Monitoring
Sheffield Hallam University is offering this challenging and exciting PhD project in radioactive waste immobilisation and monitoring. This project is fully-funded by the UK's Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) and is supported by the National Nuclear Laboratory (NNL). The project is also supported by a consortium of leading UK Universities and nuclear industry partners, through the EPSRC TRANSCEND consortium, and the successful applicant will form part of a strong cohort at Sheffield Hallam University and also as part of TRANSCEND.

Designing advanced clean steam generators
There is a huge commercial opportunity for clean steam production systems. The aim of this project is to overcome sever challenges we currently face including: (i) develop understanding of chloride-related corrosion at higher temperatures, (ii) applying numerical modelling techniques to analyse the thermal and mechanical stresses in the steam equipment, (iii) optimise the design numerically and analytically, (iv) test a scaled-prototype to validate the numerical model, (v) validate the model with an industrial-scale clean steam generator available with the industrial partner.
