CNE Research Portfolio The total level of funded projects in the CNE stands at over £38M. Some of our most recent and valuable awards that our researchers are involved in are the third phase of the UK-India Civil Nuclear Collaboration, the EURATOM In-vessel Melt Retention Severe Accident Strategy, and the EPSRC-sponsored and very collaborate Responsive Mode Grant on Neutron Irradiation Defects in Advanced Manufacture of Ferritic Steels.
