I have been involved with nuclear reactor materials research for almost three decades. I was employed as a consultant to UKAEA, Harwell from 1980-90, and have led a research group interested in nuclear reactor materials at Loughborough University since 1990, with funding support from Rolls Royce Naval Marine, EDF, Magnox, EPSRC, and Oak Ridge National Laboratories. My interests are in breeder blanket ferritic ODS steel development for fusion, radiation-induced grain boundary segregation of P in pressure vessel steels, and radiation induced chromium depletion in austenitic steels. Non-irradiation based interests, but still relevant to the current project proposal, are thermally induced chromium depletion modelling and experimental validation in Alloys 600 and 690, modelling and validation of microstructural evolution in ferritic and austenitic steels, and nickel base alloys, and its relation to creep and fracture toughness properties in these alloys. My international reputation in the understanding of grain boundaries is illustrated by my appointment as the leader of the EPSRC Network on Grain Boundaries between 1999 and 2006. I have written about 50 publications on grain boundaries and made may presentations on the topic at meetings worldwide. My overall mission is to provide, by modelling, a better understanding of microstructural changes occurring in high alloy steels and nickel based alloys in irradiation and high temperature environments. This mission is supported by a strong experimental expertise in high resolution microscopy techniques, most of which are available in the Loughborough Materials Characterisation Centre. I am Past-President of the East Midlands Metallurgical Society, Past-Chairman of the IOM3 Publications Committee, and past-Chairman of the IOM3 Younger Members Committee. I am also Past-Chairman of the Midlands Microanalysis Group.
