Abstract
Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.

Effects of compositions of filler, binder and porosity on elastic and fracture properties of nuclear graphite
in Journal of Nuclear Materials
| Description | New computational models of nuclear graphite structures. |
| Exploitation Route | The Finite Element grpahite models can be used to prefdict the safe lifetimes of graphite blocks used as moderators in nuclear reactors. |
| Sectors | Energy |
| Description | The research provides a better understanding of the behaviour of nuclear graphite, and will contribute to the improvement of life prediction techniques for graphite blocks used as moderators in nuclear power plants. |
