RWM university partnership on geological disposal
Radioactive Waste Management (RWM), UK, has launched the Research Support Office (RWM RSO) at The University of Manchester and in collaboration with The University of Sheffield to collate research capabilities in geo-disposal science and technology.
The RSO will provide RWM with evidence to guide its work around safety and design in support of the delivery of a UK geological disposal facility for nuclear waste.
Teams within partner universities will be supported by around £20m funding over a period of up to 10 years, to undertake needs driven research.
