Prof. McCloy was recently affiliated with the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, headed by Prof. Neil Hyatt (https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/materials/staff/nchyatt01) as a Visiting Scientist of Nuclear Materials. McCloy and Hyatt will use this affiliation to strengthen ties between the work in the US and the UK on nuclear waste management. In particular, they will be working together on a new project for glass-ceramic wasteforms, described in a previous post (http://labs.wsu.edu/mccloy/?p=709).
