Dr. Paul Van Uffelen graduated from the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (Belgium) and the Ecole
Nationale Supérieure Polytechnique de Grenoble (France) with a master degree in …

The thermal properties of Th02 and Th1− yUy02 are critically assessed. These properties
include melting point, heat capacity, enthalpy of formation, oxygen potential, thermal …

The first edition of this work appeared almost thirty years ago, when, as we can see in
retrospect, the study of the actinide elements was in its first bloom. Although the broad …

Materials in a nuclear environment are exposed to extreme conditions of radiation,
temperature and/or corrosion, and in many cases the combination of these makes the …

We explore the consequences of nonthermal plasma-activation on product yields in catalytic
ammonia synthesis, a reaction that is equilibrium-limited at elevated temperatures. We …

The important developments in nuclear fuels and their problems are reviewed and
compared with the status of present light-water reactor fuels. The limitations of LWR fuels are …

By 1911, the atomic weight of uranium had been refined to 238.5 (Gmelin, vol. A2, 1980a).
The natural isotope 235 U was discovered in 1935 by mass spectrometry. The artificial …

The anticipated benefits of large grains in Cr 2 O 3-doped UO 2 pellets include improved
mechanical and fission gas retention properties. To support the assessment of fission gas …

The dependence of the nonstoichiometry of (solid) has been studied over 5 orders of
magnitude in oxygen pressure and from 573 to 1173 K. Hydrogen‐reduction methods for …

The paper presents and discusses lattice parameter analyses of pure, stoichiometric UO 2.
Attention was paid to prepare stoichiometric samples and to maintain stoichiometry …
