We are interested in technologies and techniques that would allow more effective application of the waste hierarchy (NDA Grand Challenge 1). This includes approaches that prevent and minimise new waste generation as well as approaches that reuse and recycle existing wastes. It also applies to the full range of our wastes and not just our radioactive wastes.
