Once current nuclear reactor operation ceases in the U.K. there will be an estimated 99,000 tonnes of irradiated nuclear graphite waste which may account for up to 30% of any future UK geological ILW disposal facility [1]. In order to make informed decisions of how best to dispo…

This thesis examines the use of electrochemically treated viscose rayon based activated carbon cloth (ACC) for the removal of metal ions from aqueous effluent streams. Two types of treatment were performed: (i) electrochemical oxidation and (ii) electrochemical reduction to enha…
This thesis presents a new type of solar simulator and new measurement methods that allow for fast power rating of photovoltaic devices and for fast performance measurements for energy rating and energy yield predictions indoors under controlled, and more realistically simulated…
The growing number of micro generation devices in the electrical network is leading many to consider that these devices can no longer be considered as fit and forget, but should instead be considered as having a demonstrable network impact which should be predicted and utilised.…
In the TRISO (tristructural isotropic) coated fuel particle used in the High Temperature Reactor, the most important layer is a silicon carbide layer which acts as a pressure vessel. In this study, we have focused our study on the investigation of the Young’s modulus, hardness, …
