Citation | Dr Wilkinson has made substantial contributions to University research and to the nuclear industry. His research achievements include the scientific analysis of polymer processing operations and of process dynamics each forming the basis for quantitative design of industrial equipment. In his earlier work in the nuclear industry he developed processes for nuclear fuel manufacture. He has since been responsible for development design and construction of industrial plants for reprocessing irradiated fuel, the annual expenditure exceeding £300M. These projects are novel and varied, have a high development content, encompass many engineering disciplines and are built to very high standards. He has served the Inst. Of Chem. Eng (president 1980) SERC & UGC. He is a visiting professor of Chem Eng. at IMPERIAL COLLEGE. |
