Radiation Stability of Spark‐Plasma‐Sintered Lead Vanadate Iodoapatite
Abstract
Spark‐plasma‐sintered lead vanadate iodoapatite Pb 9.85 (VO 4 ) 6 I 1.7 , a promising nuclear waste form for the immobilization of I‐129, was irradiated with energetic ions, electrons, and gamma rays, to investigate its radiation stability. In situ TEM observation of the 1 MeV Kr 2+ irradiation shows that lead vanadate iodoapatite generally exhibits higher tolerance against ion irradiation‐induced amorphization than lead vanadate fluorapatite, and the spark plasma sintering can further enhance its radiation stability attributed to the enhanced crystallinity, reduced defect concentration, and denser microstructure. The critical amorphization dose and critical temperature for the SPS‐densified iodoapatite at 700°C are determined to be 0.25 dpa at room temperature and 230°C, respectively. No significant phase transformation or microstructural damage occurred under energetic electron and gamma irradiations. Raman spectra of gamma‐ray‐irradiated iodoapatite indicate improved V–O bond order at 500 kGy dose. Generally, the spark‐plasma‐sintered iodoapatite exhibits excellent radiation stability for nuclear waste form applications. The significantly enhanced radiation stability of the SPS‐densified iodoapatite suggests that SPS holds great promise for fabricating iodoapatite waste form with minimum iodine loss and optimized radiation tolerance for effective management of highly volatile I‐129.
