£9.4 million project to help tackle radioactive waste

​

Known as TRANSCEND (Transformative Science and Engineering for Nuclear Decommissioning), the project will span 40 projects lasting up to four years each, helping to build the next generation of nuclear experts as well as developing technical solutions.

Cavendish Nuclear, Low Level Waste Repository Ltd, National Nuclear Laboratory, the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority, and Sellafield Ltd are among the Cumbria-based companies supporting the £9.4m programme.

The research topics to be explored by the TRANSCEND consortium align with the NDA’s key themes of integrated waste management, site decommissioning and mediation, spent fuel and nuclear materials.
