At Newnham College

Following the success of the HHGW-24 Research Forum……this conference aims to bring together students, academics and industry experts from across the UK with leading international experts to share their research and develop new collaborations.

Understanding the long-term evolution and performance of High Heat Generating Wastes (HHGW) in disposal conditions is a key consideration in the delivery of the UK’s Geological Disposal Facility (GDF).

This year’s workshop is the third in this pursuit and builds on the success of the first meeting held at the University of Huddersfield in 2022. The second meeting has expanded to be co-organised by the University of Cambridge and the University of Huddersfield. It is being financially supported by Nuclear Waste Services, EPSRC and organising universities.
