The optimisation and control of ordered disordered regions in non-stoichiometric Nd<sub>2−x</sub>Zr<sub>2+x</sub>O<sub>7+x/2</sub>pyrochlore system lead to enhancement ionic conductivity.
Chemical quality control of nuclear fuel, particularly the determination Pu and U contents by chemical methods, results in analytical acidic aqueous waste solutions from which must be recovered efficiently for remediation radioactive wastes. Reported methods involve several complicated steps requiring addition oxidants/reductants valence adjustments generation secondary wastes, thereby making recovery process cumbersome. Herein, we report a novel two-step electrochemical approach containing...
The major drawback of zirconia-based materials, in view their applications as targets for minor actinide transmutation, is poor thermal conductivity. addition MgO, which has high conductivity, to materials expected improve On these grounds, the present study aims at phase characterization and thermophysical property evaluation neodymium-substituted zirconia (Zr0.8Nd0.2O1.9; using Nd2O3 a surrogate Am2O3) its composites with MgO. composite was prepared by solid-state reaction Zr0.8Nd0.2O1.9...
Recovery of plutonium from aqueous carbonate waste solutions generated during the reprocessing spent nuclear fuel is a key concern for sustainable energy programmes and remediation radioactive waste. Reported methods proceed through secondary generation caused by acidification make recovery process cumbersome. Herein, we report simple method Pu as solid PuO2 powder solution in two-step process. (i) was selectively electrochemically precipitated plutonium-hydroxide presence interfering U, Th,...
