X-ray diffraction and leaching of CsAlSi5O12 and CsZr2(PO4)3 irradiated by argon (3 MeV) ions

Metamict damage cross-sections for the candidate nuclear fuel waste immobilization materials CsAlSi5O12 and CsZr2(PO4)3 irradiated with 3 MeV argon ions were found to be 0.6 ! 0.2 nm2 and 0.7 ! 0.3 nm2, respectively, from powder X-ray diffraction measurements. Based on caesium extraction into soluti...

Summary:Metamict damage cross-sections for the candidate nuclear fuel waste immobilization materials CsAlSi5O12 and CsZr2(PO4)3 irradiated with 3 MeV argon ions were found to be 0.6 ! 0.2 nm2 and 0.7 ! 0.3 nm2, respectively, from powder X-ray diffraction measurements. Based on caesium extraction into solution, heavy irradiation produced increases of up to a factor of 25 in the dissolution rates of the materials in deionized water and a brine at 100C. 5pp 1fig 3tab
