In this study, Ce-doped zirconolite-rich ceramics were prepared by solid-state reaction
process using cerium as the surrogate of tetravalence actinide nuclide. The occupancy of Ce …

In this study, the influence of the working atmosphere on the sinterability and chemical
durability of Nd-doped UO 2 mixed oxides was investigated. To this end, the starting powder …

This paper focuses on major phosphate-based ceramic materials relevant for the
immobilisation of Pu, minor actinides, fission and activation products. Key points addressed …

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 …

The quantitative understanding of the dissolution of nuclear fuel materials is essential for the
process design and development of an industrial-scale nuclear fuel reprocessing plant. The …

Abstract MnO 2@ SBA-15 adsorbents were prepared and applied for the adsorption and in
situ solidification of Cs+. The adsorption and in situ solidification performance of the …

Gd 2 Zr 2 O 7 ceramic is considered as one of the most promising host minerals for the
immobilization of high-level radioactive wastes. Here, the effects of grain size on the …

Material and environmental sciences have a keen interest in the correct prediction of
material release as a result of fluid-solid interaction. For crystalline materials, surface …

An extraordinary nano-structure has been observed in the metallic (Mo–Tc–Ru–Rh–Pd)
particles that are known to form during irradiated in light water nuclear reactor fuels. This …

Stable sodium zirconium phosphate (NZP)-iron phosphate glass-ceramics for nuclear waste
immobilization were synthesized by a melt-quenching process and the effect of B 2 O 3 on …
