Developing an understanding of the relationship between the durability of simplified and complex UK radioactive waste glasses
… disposing of radioactive waste glass within a geological disposal facility requires a thorough understanding of the kinetics and mechanisms of their aqueous dissolution over geological timescales. Whilst a significant number of studies have taken place on international waste glass compositions, …

Exploration of Hydrogen Gas Evolution from Radioactive Sludges
… place for radioactive waste in the UK is a geological disposal facility that will be built at a location in the UK, which has yet to be chosen, at some unspecified time in the future. To safely commit a waste material into this facility requires knowledge about the long-term behaviour of the …

Dissolution of mixed uranium thorium oxides under geological disposal conditions
Uranium dioxide alone offers enough complexity to provide the subject matter for 50 years of dissolution studies, not least due to uranium’s redox sensitivity and the orders of magnitudes between the solubility of U(IV) and U(VI). The addition of plutonium dioxide as a solid solution opens up a …

Predicting radioactive waste glass properties with machine learning and modelling
… waste (HLW), ultimately in preparation for deep geological disposal. This data has largely been collected in isolation, and there has been an open question whether this data could be of value when used collectively. With this motivation, this PhD has aimed to either predict unstructured glass …
