Opportunity Description
Designing layered nuclear fuel systems by improved understanding of Cr‑X and Cr‑Nb‑X alloys.
Bangor University – Bangor, Gwynedd, Wales, United Kingdom.
About The Project
Accident‑tolerant fuel systems are being developed to improve the safety and longevity of nuclear reactors. One promising option is a chromium‑based coating applied to the fuel cladding, which can limit oxidation during a loss‑of‑coolant accident and extend the useful lifetime of the fuel.
We are looking for applicants eager to push this concept forward through materials design and development of new layered alloy systems for nuclear power. The successful candidate will apply state‑of‑the‑art computational approaches, combining atomistic (density functional theory) simulations with CALPHAD phase diagram modelling to accelerate materials design and application.
Key Responsibilities
- Design high‑performance materials for layered fuel systems.
