Every day, we work on high profile, high impact projects. Those that change the very shape of the nuclear industry. Here are just a few examples of projects we've been working on.
One of our proudest achievements over the past few years has been the combined work we have carried out to support the ongoing operation of the evaporators in the Highly Active Liquor Evaporation and Storage (HALES) plant at Sellafield.
Read MoreNNL provides support to customers in the development of waste immobilisation process and products. There are a number of waste streams which are not suitable for processing using currently established methods, for example cement encapsulation and vitrification.
Read MoreThe strength and integrity of the graphite moderator in Advanced Gas-Cooled Reactors (AGR) is an important consideration for safe operation and plant life extension. The UK's National Nuclear Laboratory has developed a technique which uses electronic speckle pattern interferometry (ESPI) to accurately measure the 3D displacements which occur during a 3-point bend test.
Read MoreNNL has carried out several projects in support of the Low Level Waste Repository's (LLWR) Safety Case needed to continue operations. One such project was to develop a 3D model representing the geology from the Quaternary Period (the most recent geological period) underneath the LLWR site. This incorporated the latest data from a recent geophysical survey of the site.
Read MoreNNL has signed an agreement with the European Union (EU) and Iraq to help scientists dismantle, decommission and decontaminate nuclear facilities built during the Saddam Hussein regime.
Read MoreNNL runs a research and development programme with funding of £1 million a year - part of our continued investment in developing products and services that will benefit the UK and international nuclear industry.
