Circular Economy Strategies for Nuclear Waste Management
21 hours ago
The European Union's recognition of nuclear energy as a green source has led to increased investment, yet effective waste management remains a challenge. This PhD project aims to investigate the intersection of circular economy principles and whole life cycle strategies in nuclear decommissioning using big data analysis.
This project seeks to inform decision-making in nuclear decommissioning, focusing on security, sustainability, and achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. The successful candidate will analyse various materials involved, including radioactive and non-radioactive materials, to understand the implications of adopting circularity and environmental impact reduction strategies.
For instance, the project will evaluate whether producing low-cost concrete from nuclear waste aligns with circular economy principles or if there are more environmentally friendly alternatives. It will also assess whether establishing circular routes for materials results in the lowest overall environmental impact throughout the life cycle.
The project is part of the EPSRC-supported Centre for Doctoral Training in SATURN. The funding covers tuition fees and provides an annual tax-free stipend for 4 years, commencing at £19,237. A £46,500 research support and training grant is also available over the lifetime of the award.
