Title: Corroded spent nuclear fuel examined with EELS

Conference ·
OSTI ID:267472

Samples, exposed to dripping simulated groundwater, were prepared by ultramicrotomy for TEM. The alteration phase was identified as a layered Cs Mo uranyl oxide hydrate, structurally related to phases of the becquerelite group uranium minerals. Second-difference EELS of rare earth elements within the corroded particle detected low levels of TRUs.
