A series of new research projects are now under way as part of a £9.4 million initiative to tackle some of the technical challenges at the earliest UK nuclear sites and deal with radioactive waste.

A cross-industry initiative aims to develop technical solutions for future supplies of the cements typically used to stabilise many kinds of radioactive wastes.

Trials are under way to examine whether vitrification technologies could be adapted for larger quantities of mixed low/intermediate level radioactive wastes.

New approach offers potential to convert plutonium into safe, stable forms.
