Research funding for UK-Japan nuclear decommissioning projects.
This jointly funded opportunity supports research into accelerating and advancing nuclear science, including decommissioning relevant to Fukushima and Sellafield.
Applicants must be UK-based researchers employed by an eligible research organisation and collaborate with Japanese researchers. EPSRC will fund the UK-based research, while MEXT will fund the Japan-based research components.
Proposals…
Proposals must address issues in at least one of the four fields: radioactive waste treatment, packaging, and storage; robotic and autonomous systems for decommissioning; fuel debris and materials; or decommissioning technology. EPSRC will only fund the UK component of the research.
