Nuclear Forensics is the science of determining the identity, history and origin of nuclear or other radioactive materials, and as such is a critical component of security and safeguards controls. Through the characterisation, analysis and interpretation of their properties, nuclear materials can be linked to the processes by which they were produced and through which they have assumed their current form.This PhD project presents an exciting opportunity to investigate how these nuclear forensic signatures of plutonium dioxide evolve as a result of radioactive decay and ageing processes, through the use of multiscale modelling and simulation techniques. The project will be highly industrially focussed, working with key partners from the UK's Nuclear Forensics capability, and as such the successful candidate will be expected to present within a number of national and international fora. Applications are welcomed from candidates with a strong undergraduate interest and/or background in materials science, engineering, physics or chemistry.

核取证是确定核或其他放射性材料的身份，历史和起源的科学，因此是安全和保障控制的关键组成部分。通过对其性质的表征，分析和解释，核材料可以与它们产生的过程以及他们假设其当前形式的过程有关。该博士项目为研究了一个令人兴奋的机会，以调查这些二氧化李子plutemical dioxide的核法医特征如何通过放射性衰减和衰老过程而来，通过使用多鉴定模型和模型技术来进化。该项目将高度重点关注，与英国核取证能力的主要合作伙伴合作，因此，成功的候选人将有望在许多国家和国际论坛中提出。受到材料科学，工程，物理或化学方面的本科生兴趣和/或背景的候选人的欢迎。
