The UK government is committed to nuclear energy having an important role in delivering a secure, low-carbon and affordable energy future. Successful delivery of this strategy recognises a need for focused research and development activity and skills training, particularly around new technologies for the safe decommissioning and clean-up of existing and future nuclear licensed sites. This project, linked to the RCUK-funded TRANSCEND (Transformative Science and Engineering for Nuclear Decommissioning) consortium project, will examine the practical application of low-energy electrokinetic (EK) clean-up techniques to problem nuclear contaminants and sites. EK techniques use a low voltage DC current to control migration of, remove or degrade contaminants in soils. This project will build on previous research by the supervisors on low-energy ex-situ electrokinetic remediation techniques, and will focus on applying EK techniques as practical and scalable on-site environmental management and clean-up techniques, for soils, groundwaters and other environmental materials.

英国政府致力于核能在实现安全、低碳和负担得起的能源未来方面发挥重要作用。这一战略的成功实施认识到，需要有重点的研究和开发活动和技能培训，特别是围绕安全退役和清理现有和未来的核许可场所的新技术。该项目与RCUK资助的Transcend(核退役转型科学和工程)联盟项目相联系，将审查低能电动(EK)清理技术在有问题的核污染物和场所中的实际应用。EK技术使用低电压直流电流来控制污染物在土壤中的迁移、去除或降解。该项目将建立在监督员以前对低能量异地电动修复技术的研究的基础上，并将重点应用EK技术，作为土壤、地下水和其他环境材料的实用和可推广的现场环境管理和清理技术。
