Materials Chemistry Applications that Support the Nuclear Industry

拟议的研究旨在支持核工业在应用热力学，高温材料化学和高温下的水化学研究领域。已经确定的是，从处理黄饼、新燃料的设计、下一代核反应堆到乏燃料的废物处理，燃料循环的所有方面都涉及到材料化学问题。虽然在开发用于描述燃料在各种环境中的行为的热力学模型方面取得了进展，

The proposed research is intended to support the nuclear industry in the research areas of applied thermodynamics, high temperature materials chemistry, and aqueous chemistry at elevated temperatures. It has been established that there are material chemistry issues related to all aspects of the fuel cycle, from processing yellow cake, design of new fuel, the next generation of nuclear reactors, and waste disposal of spent fuel. While progress has been made to develop thermodynamic models for describing the behaviour of fuel in various environments (
