NNL Science Journal: Issue 4 now available to download
NNL Science is a scientific journal which presents a selection of the many and varied peer reviewed scientific articles that NNL has completed either for customers or through our own, self-funded Signature Research programme.
Each edition of NNL Science will highlight a key area. The feature article in the latest edition looks at cementitious encapsulation of radioactive waste. As NNL Science Editor, Mark Sarsfield, points out “Some things seem simple. Mixing radioactive waste with cement seems simply but, as our feature article illustrates, the process is far from it. A clear scientific understanding is required of how each of the chemical components alters the setting process and subsequent strength of the final product.” NNL has the knowledge and experience to deal with these complex challenges.
