Glass-ceramic composite materials have been investigated for nuclear waste sequestration applications due to their ability to incorporate large amounts of radioactive waste elements. A key property that needs to be understood ...

Inert matrix fuels (IMF) consist of transuranic elements (i.e., Pu, Am, Np, Cm) embedded in a neutron transparent (inert) matrix and can be used to “burn up” (transmute) these elements in current or Generation IV nuclear ...

The geochemical model for Mo mineralization in the JEB Tailings Management Facility (JEB TMF), operated by AREVA Resources Canada at McClean Lake, Saskatchewan, was investigated using X-ray Absorption Near-Edge Spectroscopy ...

The structural properties of (1-x)BaTiO3exBiScO3 and (1-x)PbTiO3exBiScO3 were investigated using powder X-ray diffraction and X-ray absorption spectroscopy. Diffraction measurements confirmed that substituting small amounts ...

Glass–ceramic composite materials are being investigated for numerous applications (i.e., textile, energy storage, nuclear waste immobilization applications, etc.) due to the chemical durability and flexibility of these ...

The Ce‐containing analogue of brannerite (ie, UTi2O6) was previously considered to be stoichio- metric (ie, CeTi2O6); however, it has recently been determined that the material is O deficient. This oxygen‐deficient material ...

Glass-ceramic composite materials have been investigated for nuclear waste sequestration applications due to their ability to incorporate large amounts of radioactive waste elements. Borosilicate- and Fe–Al–borosilicate ...

The JEB Tailings Management Facility (TMF) is central to reducing the environmental impact of the McClean Lake uranium mill facility that is operated by AREVA Resources Canada. This facility has been designed around the ...

X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) and Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy (EELS) are strong candi- date techniques for characterizing steel surfaces and substrate-coating interfaces when investigating the selective ...
