About

The Centre for Radiochemistry Research (CRR) at The University of Manchester is a UK centre of excellence providing a national focus for innovative, high-impact radiochemistry research.

We provide a key link between academia and the nuclear sector, with activities ranging from blue skies investigations to industry-ready development work. These are enhanced by our new role in the National Nuclear User Facility.

Our extensive network of partnerships and collaborations facilitates our aims:
