Setting-up and management of long-term radioactive experiments and short duration contract work to support the NDA research programme and participation in the EC FUNMIG project. Active laboratory work included solubility experiments on various radionuclides under high pH, low Eh, N2 atmosphere conditions (analogous to a cement backfill environment) and included the effects of organic complexants and cellulose degradation products. Reporting included predictive modelling of research results. Show less
