Funding opportunity: Addressing nuclear fission challenges for a prosperous future

Apply for funding for academic research addressing UK nuclear fission priorities. This is a strategic opportunity inviting large multidisciplinary consortia to adopt a whole-systems approach, integrating reactor design, fuel cycles, decommissioning, waste management, materials science, modelling, and socio-economic impacts to inform policy, provide impact and drive innovation. Consortia can have a focus area as well as an impact plan.

You must be based at a UK research organisation eligible for EPSRC funding.

The full economic cost (FEC) of your project can be up to £8.5 million. EPSRC will fund 80% of the FEC.

Projects can last up to five years.
