C-NET - The Centre for Nuclear Energy Technology: Meeting the challenge of Advanced Reactor Deployment

摘要

In February 2008, The University of Manchester, through its Dalton Nuclear Institute, announced plans to establish the Centre for Nuclear Energy Technology (C-NET) which is intended to help put back onto the map academic reactor capability to support the needs of the public and private sectors as well as other stakeholders. Over the next five years, the Centre plans investment of ￡25m in disciplines such as Reactors Physics, Thermal Hydraulics and Materials Irradiation. It is an intention that C-NET works collaborat/vely with other academic institutions in the UK and overseas. The investment includes funding from The University of Manchester, private sector sources and also proposed support from the Northwest Development Agency (NWDA) of ￡4.2m following endorsement for C-NET from the Northwest Science Council.
