Abstract

The background and planned research activities are outlined for a new UK research consortium focused on Decommissioning, Immobilisation And Management Of Nuclear-wastes for Disposal (DIAMOND). This consortium is the first integrated trans-disciplinary and multi-institution academic research network in the UK, focused on nuclear waste management.
