The University operates an MC40 Cyclotron and a neutron beam facility is currently being built. The MC40 Cyclotron can produce the proton beam energies in the range of 3~38 MeV. To support the nuclear research in the UK, the University has been awarded a project by EPSRC to develop a system which will enable the mechanical testing of materials under aqueous environment relevant to the current and future nuclear reactor applications, and with the capability of in-situ irradiation. In summary, the aqueous system needs to enable the stress corrosion cracking experiments in the normal PWR conditions and also super-critical water conditions, with and without proton and/or neutron irradiation. - This project may be funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) or; - European Structural and Investment Fund (ESIF) or; - Research Councils UK (RCUK), the strategic partnership of the UK's seven Research Councils.
