Watch live online or join us in person at the University of Huddersfield. In the midst of a global climate crisis, does nuclear energy offer a greener solution? We take you on a journey to explore nuclear energy and understand the problems of disposing with radioactive waste so that you can make up your own mind about the future of nuclear energy in our society.
Speakers
Dr MIR Anamul Haq did his masters in nuclear reactor physics at the University of Paris Saclay and PhD in nuclear waste management from French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) Marcoule. He currently leads the nuclear fuel and waste management research group the University of Huddersfield. The main focus of this research is to synthesise novel materials for the management of high-level nuclear wastes by simulating their radiation and corrosion resistance.
