ADSR +FFAG Future PlansRoger Barlow 1: Grants 2: September Workshop
Proposals • CONFORM • EPSRC 1 • EPSRC 2 • KE / STFC scheme for irradiating thorium fuel rods. – RC, RB, Thor Energy • STFC “Research and Industry” • KTAs – EPSRC RS/RC/SK • Expect call for Expressions of Interest from STFC soon for Big Energy projects (e.g.Design an ADSR to run at Harwell/Daresbury/Sellafield). STFC have no money for this BUT reckon to use it to lever funds in the next CSR. We have to be ready and present a coherent response.
