Effect of alpha-particle irradiation on microwave-sintered actinide-contaminated soil glass waste

To investigate the irradiation resistance of the microwave sintered contaminated soil samples, the samples were irradiated with 0.5 MeV He 2+ ions. The property changes of the irradiated samples were investigated. After irradiation, the Vickers hardness values of the samples showed a relatively low...

Summary:To investigate the irradiation resistance of the microwave sintered contaminated soil samples, the samples were irradiated with 0.5 MeV He 2+ ions. The property changes of the irradiated samples were investigated. After irradiation, the Vickers hardness values of the samples showed a relatively low degree of decrease, with a maximum reduction of 1.36%. The magnitude of NL Ce of samples before and after irradiation was in the order of 1 × 10 –5  g·m −2 ·d −1 . This result will provide a useful reference for the treatment of the contaminated soil.
