NDA funds Plutonium Ceramics Academic Hub with U.K. universities
The United Kingdom’s Nuclear Decommissioning Authority has announced that it will establish a Plutonium Ceramics Academic Hub with the Universities of Manchester and Sheffield. The announcement follows a decision by the U.K. government in January to immobilize the country’s inventory of civil separated plutonium at the Sellafield nuclear site, mitigating the material’s long-term safety and security risks.
To assist members with their outreach efforts, ANS offers a range of materials including Source Energy Equivalent fuel pellet cards, career brochures, fact-based nuclear science and technology hand-outs, and more. And be sure to check out our Nuclear Ambassadors program, which provides free outreach training and custom resources like PowerPoint presentations.
