Last week, we successfully delivered the trial run of our 1-week hands-on THOR Facility Training Course! It was an intensive and rewarding week, giving participants the opportunity to gain practical experience with the THOR facility while developing their knowledge of Nuclear Thermal Hydraulics. A huge thank you to Barry Miller, Benjamin Collins, Celt Griffith, Cintia […]
PhD Students Danielle Praag, Josh Hobbins, Josh Hughes and Pranav Sabuji from the NFI were given the opportunity to visit the Jozef Stefan Institute in Ljubljana, Slovenia as part of The Nuclear Energy Futures Centre for Doctoral Training. The visit took place across two days. Whilst there they conducted three experiments on the TRIGA test

Behind the secure gates of the AWE, our latest cohort; Ben Kendall, Cameron McFarlane, Jacob Taylor and Will Gallon; joined a vibrant exchange of ideas spanning the cutting edge of materials science. From ground-breaking semiconductor simulations to our own team’s specialised research in nuclear forensics, the conference was a masterclass in technical diversity. While the
The fourth edition of the European School on Nuclear Materials Science was an incredibly enriching and memorable experience. Over the course of five days, I was introduced to a wide range of experimental and computational approaches within materials science, many of which were new to me. The programme combined in-depth lectures, collaborative coursework, and networking

Our cohort were given the opportunity to visit DMM Wales for the chance to see a product being progressed from initial prototyping through to die fabrication and batch manufacture. Seeing these manufacturing principles applied at a world-class facility right here in Wales really brought our textbook theory to life. It was fascinating to witness how
