Raman spectroscopy is one of the most useful techniques for studying the structure of UO2
and changes due to specific defects caused by doping, changes in stoichiometry, irradiation …

The self-assembly mechanisms of polyoxometalates (POMs) are still a matter of discussion
owing to the difficult task of identifying all the chemical species and reactions involved. We …

The exploitation of the data acquired by Raman spectroscopy on UO 2 related materials
requires the understanding of the so-called defect peaks. To do so, we measured the …

Uranyl ammonium carbonate (AUC), with the chemical formula UO 2 CO 3· 2 (NH 4) 2 CO 3,
plays a crucial role in the wet conversion of uranium hexafluoride (UF 6) into uranium …

A demonstration (DEMO) fusion reactor will require a huge amount of beryllium (Be) with
approximately 490 tons. Since the total production of Be in the world, for now, is …

Understanding and controlling aqueous speciation of metal oxides are key for the discovery
and development of novel materials, and challenge both experimental and computational …

Small-particle analysis is a highly promising emerging forensic tool for analysis of interdicted
special nuclear materials. Integration of microstructural, morphological, compositional, and …

U (VI) peroxides are important within the nuclear fuel cycle, but reactive oxygen species
(ROS) can form upon oxidation. Herein, we identified the spectral signatures of a U (VI) …

The contents of the Lanthanides, which are Rare Earth Elements (REE), that show
consistent patterns under changing geochemical conditions in uranium ore have been …

To develop strategies for incorporating transition metal taggants (Fe, Cr, and Ni) into oxide
fuels and to understand how these taggant candidates persist through early fuel cycle …
