NDA announces bursary awards
25 May 2010
The NDA University Bursary Call forms a key component of the NDA's University Research and Development (R&D) programme which supports the delivery of both our R&D and Skills & Capability critical enabler strategies.
As with previous NDA bursary calls, we received a large number of high quality, innovative applications. A technical panel of nuclear decommissioning and clean-up industry representatives and relevant regulators selected the successful projects using criteria based upon both innovation and skills development. The successful academics are now recruiting students in order to start these projects at the beginning of the next academic year.
Dr Darrell Morris, NDA Research Manager, said:
"The technical training of highly skilled individuals is crucial to the delivery of the UK's decommissioning and clean-up plans. The NDA Bursary Call demonstrates our commitment to supporting university-based research and development."
Following the open call in December 2009 we are pleased to announce that funding has been awarded to the following projects:
