&lt;p&gt;We are please to announce a &lt;a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.1088/0953-8984/26/49/495401"&gt;new publication&lt;/a&gt; in collaboration with &lt;a href="http://www.ansto.gov.au/"&gt;ANSTO&lt;/a&gt; on the effect of radiation damage on the thermal conductivity of UO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; using our recently developed &lt;a href="http://abulafia.mt.ic.ac.uk/potentials/actinides"&gt;many-body actinide oxide potential&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A comparison of the damage profile predicted by the many-body potential is made against previous potential models. A significant degradation in thermal conductivity is then predicted as a consequence. The conductivity of amorphous UO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; is also calculated.&lt;/p&gt;
