- 3 - Issue 1.00 July 2014 Dalton Cumbrian Facility (DCF)
The University of Manchester established the world-leading Dalton Cumbrian Facility (DCF) in partnership with the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) as a ground breaking centre for academic research in the areas of radiation science and nuclear engineering decommissioning. The DCF is operated by the University’s Dalton Nuclear Institute, which was awarded the Diamond Jubilee Queen’s Anniversary prize in 2011 in recognition of the quality and impact of its nuclear R&D and skills development.
The programmes undertaken at DCF are at the forefront of radiation science and nuclear engineering decommissioning research.
The aim of DCF’s radiation science research programme is to develop a mechanistic understanding of radiation-induced effects on chemical processes, and enhance our knowledge of the degradation of materials in nuclear environments. Radiation Science research at DCF is led by the Facility’s Director, Professor Simon Pimblott, one of the world’s leading experts in the area of radiation science.
The aim of DCF’s nuclear engineering decommissioning research is to develop innovative techniques to aid the decontamination and deconstruction of nuclear facilities, and deliver an enhanced understanding of the behaviour and properties of radioactive waste. This research could lead to significant improvements in the safe, cost-effective treatment and ultimate disposal of radioactive material. Nuclear engineering decommissioning research at DCF is led by Professor Barry Lennox, the EPSRC-funded Chair in Nuclear Engineering Decommissioning.
DCF hosts postgraduate students and provides them For more information on the with access to internationally unique nuclear facilities research facilities available at DCF, visit our website for their research, including to NNL Central www.dalton.manchester.ac.

- 4 - Issue 1.00 July 2014 Places to Live
This section covers some of the places to live in West Cumbria – this isn’t an exhaustive list, just some of the most popular towns as recommended by staff and researchers.
Whitehaven: Probably the most popular town for our researchers as its only 3 miles north of DCF and the most central location in terms of amenities. Travelling to DCF by car takes only 10 minutes, and buses from the town centre stop at the entrance to Westlakes Science & Technology Park. Whitehaven has a good mix of high street, supermarket and local stores, with a selection of sports facilities, bars and restaurants. A variety of housing is also available in the areas surrounding Whitehaven town centre (Bransty, Corkickle, Kells, Midgey, Hensingham, Moresby).
Egremont: Known for its infamous annual Crab Fair and Hartley’s ice cream, Egremont town is about 4 miles south of DCF. On the Main Street you will find various traditional pubs, shops and a small supermarket, as well as a swimming pool and gym. Travelling by car to DCF takes approximately 10 minutes and buses run every 30 minutes, stopping at the entrance to Westlakes Science Park.
St. Bees: A coastal village with a beach that is quite popular during the Summer months. Home to the school of Mr Bean, it has a small number of pubs and restaurants, golf course and village shop. There are excellent views to be afforded from St. Bees Head if you decide to take a walk up there from the beach! Unfortunately St. Bees is not serviced by bus operators; therefore we would only recommend living here if you have a car for the short 10 minute drive to DCF.
Workington: Being a larger town, Workington offers facilities that aren’t currently available in the closer town of Whitehaven. A number of high street stores, 6 screen cinema, bowling alley and the Dunmail Park shopping centre can be found in Workington. However, with a 10 mile commute by car to DCF it isn’t as popular with our researchers. Regular buses and trains do run between Whitehaven and Workington during peak hours.
For a better idea on the towns listed in this section you may want to visit these websites: www.visit-whitehaven.co.uk www.whitehaven.org.uk www.workingtonshopping.com www.visitcumbria.com/workington www.stbees.org.uk www.cockermouth.org.uk
- 5 - Issue 1.00 July 2014 Cockermouth: Bordering the National Park, Cockermouth caters well for the tourist, meaning that there are a number of quaint shops, pubs and restaurants. Home the world renowned Jennings Brewery and the birthplace of William Wordsworth, Cockermouth is a well-known town with a friendly community feel. With the 15 mile commute to DCF, we wouldn’t recommend living here unless you have a car.
Villages close to DCF: Moor Row, Bigrigg, Cleator Moor, Frizington
A few of our current researchers have opted to reside in the city of Carlisle, which is 40 miles north of DCF and about a 1 hour journey away. Carlisle can be accessed by car or by train or bus from Whitehaven town centre (note that you would have to add about 15 minutes onto your journey to allow you to catch a bus or train from Whitehaven station to DCF each day). Carlisle is the home of the University of Cumbria’s main campus so student life throughout the city is already established. Although a fairly small (population of 108,000) and compact city, Carlisle offers everything that you would expect, from a late night 7 screen cinema to Cumbria’s largest shopping centre The Lanes. Have a look at www.discovercarlisle.co.uk for more details.

- 16 - Issue 1.00 July 2014 Hints & Tips
House sharing can work out a lot cheaper than going it alone.
Living with (or close to) other people who are based out of DCF has the secondary advantage The Cumbria County Council website has a that you have a car school for travelling to ‘Roads & Travel’ page work! which contains details of public transport. www.cumbria.gov.uk Travel information, including bus and train Bus timetables can be downloaded below and we timetables, can be found on the office recommend using noticeboards around DCF. Regular travel to www.thetrainline.com for Manchester for meetings/conferences is train times arranged and paid for by The University.
Look out for any organised social events/activities in the first few weeks and get involved in as many as possible. It’s a great way to make friends and help you adjust into your new Cumbrian life.
You might want to join a local club, gym or similar – it’s an easy way to meet new people in the area. Be sure to ask if any existing researchers are already members of any clubs, you could go along with them.
New DCF researchers can join the Manchester University Cumbrian Students (MUCS) society that has been set up by some of our current researchers.
You will be invited to an informal lunch and poster session at DCF in your first week. This is a good opportunity to meet the researchers and staff, and also to find out about the different areas of research being carried out.
For international citizens, obtaining the correct immigration permission is essential for a successful start in the UK. Before you arrive and while you are working at DCF, specialist advice on complex immigration matters is available from the International Advice Team at The University of Manchester. If you experience any immigration problems please don’t hesitate to contact them immediately on [email protected]

Please note that the Arrival Guide may contain multiple references to moving to the city of Manchester; although this won’t be relevant to you, the general information and advice sections will still be of great use.
