Synthesis and characterization of phosphate ceramics doped with actinides

Status

 
Terminated - Planned from March 2005 till September 2006

Goals

The aim of this joint research project is to improve the understanding of actinide incorporation in ceramics, which are prepared through a detailed characterization of samples, doped with actinides at the micrometric scale. The focus lies on uranium, neptunium, plutonium and/or americium. Besides, the behaviour of monazites/brabantites and TPD under self-irradiation will also be investigated.

Expected results

The data of this joint research project will contribute to:

  • the global knowledge of high-temperature actinide-bearing phosphate phases;
  • the complete understanding of the incorporation of actinides.
