Preparation and characterization of polyphase ceramic for fixation of actinides and fission products

Description

Two basic crystalline phases, a fluorite type, calcia stabilized zirconia, and a magnetoplumbite type, CaAl12O19, have been studied for incorporating the full range of waste compositions in to polyphase ceramic forms. The phase assemblage provides crystalline host phases, with stable mineral analogues, for many radionuclides in the waste. Fluorite is considered to be suitable host phase for the fixation of actinides and lanthanides. Magnetoplumbite-like structure can accommodate a wide range of elements with various charges and ionic radii. These kinds of compounds, in addition, present good chemical inertia. (author)
