X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) and x-ray emission spectroscopy (XES) are advanced
x-ray spectroscopies that impact a wide range of disciplines. However, unlike the majority of …

Many studies report the synthesis and characterizations of CeO2 nanoparticles (NPs) due to
their applications in catalysis, energy storage, or biomedical fields. In this study, we report a …

The release of radionuclides from spent fuel in a geological disposal facility is controlled by
the surface mediated dissolution of UO2 in groundwater. In this study we investigate the …

Abstract Glasses with compositions xCeO 2–(100− x)(36Fe 2 O 3–10B 2 O 3–54P 2 O 5)(x=
0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15 and 18, mol%) are prepared by conventional melt quench method. Glass …

A possible substitution of UO2 for research purposes is the cerium dioxide (CeO2) owing to
its chemical and physical properties. Neutronic properties are different and fission is absent …

In this paper, the effect of CeO 2, as the surrogate for actinide oxides and with
concentrations deliberately higher than the solubility limit of the baseline glass, on phase …

In the safety case for the geological disposal of nuclear waste, the release of radioactivity
from the repository is controlled by the dissolution of the spent fuel in groundwater. There …

This work considers the effect of fission fragment damage on the structural integrity and
dissolution of the CeO 2 matrix in water, as a simulant for the UO 2 matrix of spent nuclear …

To explore the possibility of immobilizing nuclear waste by natural metamorphic granite, the
phase, microscopic morphology, elemental distribution and the structural evolution of the …

In this work, the sintering kinetics of pure UO2 and 0.5 wt.% MnO‐doped UO2 was studied
by a high‐temperature dilatometer heated up to 1500° C. In addition, the sintering behavior …
