Order parameter and connectivity topology analysis of crystalline ceramics for nuclear waste immobilization.
We apply bond order and topological methods to the problem of analysing the results of radiation damage cascade simulations in ceramics. Both modified Steinhardt local order and connectivity topology analysis techniques provide results that are both translationally and rotationally invariant and which do not rely on a particular choice of a reference structure. We illustrate the methods with ne...
متن کاملRadiation effects in crystalline ceramics for the immobilization of high-level nuclear waste and plutonium
This review provides a comprehensive evaluation of the state-of-knowledge of radiation effects in crystalline ceramics that may be used for the immobilization of high-level nuclear waste and plutonium. The current understanding of radiation damage processes, defect generation, microstructure development, theoretical methods, and experimental methods are reviewed. Fundamental scientific and tech...
متن کاملRhenium solubility in borosilicate nuclear waste glass: implications for the processing and immobilization of technetium-99.
The immobilization of technetium-99 ((99)Tc) in a suitable host matrix has proven to be a challenging task for researchers in the nuclear waste community around the world. In this context, the present work reports on the solubility and retention of rhenium, a nonradioactive surrogate for (99)Tc, in a sodium borosilicate glass. Glasses containing target Re concentrations from 0 to 10,000 ppm [by...
متن کاملThermochemical Models for Nuclear Waste Glass Subsystems
A relatively simple model, the associate species model, is being applied to nuclear waste glass compositions in order to accurately predict behavior and thermodynamic activities in the material. In the model, the glass is treated as a supercooled liquid, with the liquid species allowed to exist below their melting point. The approach requires an initial assembly of binary and ternary oxide liqu...
متن کاملEnhanced Hlw Glass Formulations for the Waste Treatment & Immobilization Plant
Current estimates and glass formulation efforts are conservative vis-à-vis achievable waste loadings. These formulations have been specified to ensure that glasses are homogenous, contain essentially no crystalline phases, are processable in jouleheated, ceramic-lined melters and meet WTP Contract terms. The WTP’s overall mission will require the immobilization of tank waste compositions that a...
