SUMMARY:NDA Sort and segregate competition briefing
DESCRIPTION:The Knowledge Transfer Network is running a briefing on the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority and Innovate UK 'Sort and segregate nuclear waste' competition.\nThe Nuclear Decommissioning Authority\, in partnership with Innovate UK\, is delivering an SBRI competition to fund innovative ideas that will lead to cheaper\, safer and faster ways of sorting and segregating radioactive waste. Successful applicants will receive 100% funding to develop and demonstrate their technologies. £3.9m funding (inc VAT) is available for innovative ways to sort and segregate radioactive waste. \nDates\n\nCompetition launches Monday 27 July\nCompetition opens 17 August\nOn-line briefing event 25 August\nCompetition closes 11 November\n\nRegistration\nWho should attend – Applications can be led by any organisation\, of any size and from any sector. NDA are keen to encourage technology transfer from other industrial sectors (outside nuclear) that carry out multiple complex automated tasks\, rapidly and safely. This might include\, for example\, food processing\, logistics\, waste management\, high value manufacturing or medical. NDA are particularly looking to fund innovative projects that combine existing technologies into a single integrated system. \n[button link="https://ktn-uk.co.uk/news/sort-and-segregate-nuclear-waste?utm_campaign=1786434_Infrastructure%20update%20Aug%2020&utm_medium=email&utm_source=dotdigital&dm_i=2VFU\,12AF6\,5Q3O1U\,42HDB\,1" bg_color="#806ab7" border="#806ab7" window="yes"]Event page[/button]

SUMMARY:IOP Nuclear Industry Group Webinar Series: Micropower from Gamma Fields
DESCRIPTION:This presentation will focus on recent results in the development of a diamond gamma-voltaic: a device that generates power from ambient gamma fields. Gammavoltaics is a nascent field and this work represents the first steps towards the concept becoming a reality. \nSpeaker \nRobbie Mackenzie is a PhD student at University of Bristol. He completed his MSci in Physics  in 2016\, spending some time as an engineer in the semiconductor industry before returning to start his PhD under Professor Tom Scott in late 2017. \nRegistration\nPlease register for this talk via the Institute of Physics website. \n[button link="https://www.iopconferences.org/iop/frontend/reg/thome.csp?pageID=963808&eventID=1518" bg_color="#806ab7" border="#806ab7" window="yes"]Event page[/button]\nContact: \n\nIoP Conferences – Claire.Garland@iop.org\, 07881 923 142\nIoP Nuclear Industry Group – Dale.Mcqueen@nda.gov.uk\n\n\nInstitute of Physics Nuclear Industry Group Webinar Series\nIn collaboration with:

SUMMARY:Game Changers Lunchtime Technology webinar
DESCRIPTION:On the 2nd June from 12 - 1pm\, Game Changers are starting Lunchtime Technology talks on Zoom. Each session they will feature 2 innovative projects that have been funded through the Game Changers programme.  \nThe opening session will feature:  \n\n\nDetecting hydrogen at range – Dr David Stothard\, Fraunhofer Centre for Applied Photonics\nThe generation of hydrogen through corrosion or radiolysis is a common phenomenon encountered across Sellafield and can be thought of as a concern or a useful mechanism to monitor the condition of an asset.  In either case\, it is highly advantageous to detect over extended ranges\, without needing to directly deploy instruments in difficult to reach areas. \nIn this talk\, David will present a standalone remote hydrogen detection system which is capable of measuring hydrogen down to a concentration of 0.05%\, over distances between 0.1 to 100m.  Recently tested in a successful active deployment\, Fraunhofer’s system uses only light to make measurements meaning that hydrogen can be detected without placing operators or instruments in sensitive or hazardous areas. \n\n\n\n\nExtending the life of battery powered sensors – Professor Bernard Stark\, Sensor Driven\nTraditional sensors constantly use battery power\, regularly sleeping\, waking and measuring when often there is nothing of interest to measure. This typically limits battery lifetime to a few years. \nSensor Driven have developed unique microchips that can extend battery lifetime to decades using minuscule amounts of energy directly from transducer signals\, or from leakage currents\, to wake up the measuring electronics and take a reading. \nIn this talk\, Bernard will show how this new technology can be used to monitor important information relating to movement\, moisture\, temperature\, noise and more\, and present results from recent radiation testing.  Considerably extended battery life may have significant potential for Sellafield where sensors need to be used in difficult to reach areas and challenging environments. \n\n\nHow to access\n[button link="https://www.gamechangers.technology/lunchtime-technology-talks/" bg_color="#806ab7" border="#806ab7" window="yes"]Event page[/button]\nThe webinar will be via Zoom - Meeting ID: 835 5574 7161.

SUMMARY:IOP Nuclear Industry Group webinar: Space Batteries
DESCRIPTION:Nuclear power - in the form of radioisotope power systems (RPSs) - has been used to power many of the most significant space missions during the last 50 years. For almost all the missions to date the radioisotope has been Plutonium 238. \nHowever Plutonium 238 is very expensive and difficult to make and the worldwide availability is so limited that missions using it can only be considered occasionally. There is an alternative\, Americium 241. Whilst it is a waste to the nuclear industry\, Americium 241 is also a heat producing radioisotope that has similar properties to the Plutonium 238 used in RPSs. \nSpeaker \nTim Tinsley currently holds the role of Account Director for Special Nuclear Material at the National Nuclear Laboratory. In addition he manages the NNL’s portfolio of work related to space\, including power and propulsion\, and radioisotopes. \nRegistration\nPlease register for this talk via the Institute of Physics website. \n[button link="https://www.iopconferences.org/iop/1516/home" bg_color="#806ab7" border="#806ab7" window="yes"]Event page[/button]\nContact: \n\nIoP Conferences – Claire.Garland@iop.org\, 07881 923 142\nIoP Nuclear Industry Group – Dale.Mcqueen@nda.gov.uk\n\n\nInstitute of Physics Nuclear Industry Group Webinar Series\nIn collaboration with: \n \n \n \nFurther talks in this series will be held on: \n\nTuesday 26th May\, 13:00 – Tom Wallace-Smith\, University of Bristol (Diamond Batteries)\nTuesday 2nd June\, 13:00 – Robbie Mackenzie\, University of Bristol (Gamma Voltaics)
