Notice Information

Notice Title

Atomistic Modelling of Detritiation of Tungsten

Notice Description

The Client known henceforth as UKAEA (United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority) requires a Consultant to provide modelling services which will examine the role of surface oxidation in the detritiation of tungsten tiles following fusion reactor service, including eventualities of accidental exposure to oxygen during service. This project is envisaged to lay the foundation for creating a mesoscale modelling tool with the capability to directly predict oxide microstructural evolution, and oxide growth and hydrogen isotope transport kinetics in aqueous corrosion. As such the Consultant will submit findings in such a way that can be used by UKAEA for this purpose.
