Reactions of the light actinide ions (Th to Cm) at the mineral− aqueous solution interface
have attracted much attention during recent years. Initially research was mainly driven by the …

Cm (III), atomic number 96, has the electronic configuration [Rn core, 5f7] and is the actinide
analog of the lanthanide ion Gd3+ [Xe core, 4f7]. The ground term has only∼ 78% 8S7/2 …

Transition metal and rare earth (RE) elements are important fission products present in used
nuclear fuel, which in high concentrations tend to precipitate crystalline phases in vitreous …

The incorporation of high MoO 3 amounts in borosilicate glasses developed for the
immobilization of radioactive waste may lead to the crystallization of Mo-rich phases that …

Corrosion of nuclear waste glass in unsaturated conditions is expected to occur upon the
closure of the repository galleries during disposal cell saturation in the proposed French …

Crystalline and glass composite materials are currently being investigated for the
immobilization of combined High Level Waste (HLW) streams resulting from potential …

Abstract Spark Plasma Sintering has been used to obtain first ever fine-grained SrWO 4 and
NaNd (WO 4) 2 ceramics with the scheelite structure and high density (95.8–99%) that are …

The interaction of trivalent Cm and Eu with the aluminum hydroxide bayerite (β-Al (OH) 3)
and the aluminum oxide corundum (α-Al 2 O 3) was investigated by batch sorption …

Scheelite-and powellite-related materials doped with trivalent lanthanides or actinides have
been the subject of extensive research due to their important role in mineralogical …

This article focuses on the Am incorporation and location in the UMo-glass ceramic
designed to manage fission product solutions enriched in 241 Am generated by the …
