Description

Nuclear waste media may contain crystalline phases which can be damaged by α-particles and recoil nuclei. The lattice damage induced in the crystalline alkaline-earth fluorides (CaF2, SrF2, BaF2) by 25 keV He and 380 keV Kr has been studied using cantilever beam techniques and Rutherford backscattering (RBS) channeling measurements. Maximum compressive stress was obtained at fluence values for which RBS disorder reached random levels. Fluorine displacement values were an order of magnitude greater than Ca in He-implanted CaF2. These results indicate that α-particle damage could be an important part of the radiation damage induced in waste media containing crystalline phases
