    OUR HISTORY

    Nuclear Societies was initiated in 2013 as an ESRC-funded PhD initiative by Professor Susan Molyneux-Hodgson. Since then, it has evolved and grown. Today, the current cohort of doctoral researchers are funded by the UK’s Nuclear Waste Services and the University of Exeter. The Nuclear Societies Research Group is associated with SHARE (Social Sciences and Humanities in Ionising Radiation Research).
