Project overview

TRANSCEND (Transformative Science and Engineering for Nuclear Decommissioning) is a collaborative research consortium of 11 universities and 8 industry partners.
The £9.4million research programme comprises 40 projects which will address some of the key challenges within the areas of nuclear decommissioning and waste management. Work at the ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓÆµ, carried out in our GAU-Radioanalytical Laboratories, examines the application of novel electrical or electrokinetic treatment technologies to problem nuclear site wastes, supporting TRANSCEND's site decommissioning and remediation theme, and more widely, effective clean-up and management of the UK's nuclear waste and nuclear site legacy.
