Abstract

The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) sponsored DISTINCTIVE consortium (Decommissioning, Immobilisation and Storage Solutions for Nuclear Waste Inventories) is developing technologies for civil infrastructure repair, in-situ subsurface waste immobilisation, and groundwater protection during construction and decommissioning. The consortium has contributed to the development of skilled cross-disciplinary civil engineers and scientists, that have the knowledge and experience required to develop engineering solutions tailored for application within radiologically contaminated sites. The Structural Integrity Theme focuses on challenges ranging from site-scale infrastructure preservation and restoration, through injectable ground barriers for risk mitigation, to the remote characterisation and handling of individual waste packages. The main aim of the theme is to develop novel engineering solutions, tailored for use on radiologically contaminated sites, for: ground protection; infrastructure characterisation; concrete restoration and waste characterisation. Technologies should minimise current, and future, radiation exposure of the workforce whilst providing economically viable engineering solutions.
