Reflecting on the past and present, what does the future hold for nuclear in the South West region? It was great to be joined by @claireyoungmp.bsky.social and @evelynwelch.bsky.social at the annual @sw-nuclearhub.bsky.social @bristoluni.bsky.social showcase to share ideas and shape what's next ☢️
We are delighted to now share with you the updated UK Fusion Materials Roadmap. UK Atomic Energy Authority – facilitated and co-funded by the Henry Royce Institute and EPSRC – brought together fusion materials experts.

Good things come to those who wait… or maybe it’s those who work hard and convince funders to back them 😅 Excited to finally introduce the new Radiomineralogy Laboratory! 100 m2 dedicated to actinide mineralogy / materials science and radioactive waste immobilisation and disposal.
Please email NNUF-EXACT@soton.ac.uk to reserve your place.

#CPD #RadiochemistryTraining #TrainingOpportunities
The course will cover
- Principles of radiometric measurements including types of detectors
- Radiochemical separation techniques
- Quality control in a radiochemical laboratory
... and much much more!
Are you looking for CPD opportunities in Radiochemistry? Perhaps time for a refresh?
The NNUF-EXACT facility are running a two-day training course on the 21-22nd Oct, providing a fantastic overview of radioanalytical techniques and theory for analysts and radiochemists!
