      By nuclear, I mean anything to do with nuclear materials. That can include the UKs nuclear deterrent (though I only work on the civilian side of things), nuclear energy (power stations and fuel manufacture), waste management, decommissioning of sites and equipment, nuclear fusion experiments, medicine (isotopes used to treat people) etc. It’s wide ranging and included in many industries.
      Most of my projects are around the management and treatment of legacy waste from the UKs decommissioned nuclear power stations. Most of the waste created can be treated to be recycled or disposed of like normal. While only a small proportion actually needs packaging and keeping away from the public due to it’s hazardous nature. My projects help to do that.
