Mixed oxides of uranium and plutonium (MOX) are currently considered as a reference fuel for the new generation of fast breeder reactors such as ASTRID. The key factor determining the performance and safety of a fuel such as MOX is its operational limits...

The complex contamination of groundwater near radioactive waste repositories by nitrates and actinides is a common problem for many nuclear fuel cycle facilities. One of the effective methods to remove nitrates and reduce actinide migration activity is b...

In order to understand the mechanism of hydrogen interaction on the surface of a plutonium?gallium system, the adsorption and dissociation behaviors of hydrogen molecules on the surface of a plutonium?gallium system were studied using the first-principle...

Thermodynamics of plutonium monocarbide is studied from first-principles theory that includes relativistic electronic structure and anharmonic lattice vibrations. Density-functional theory (DFT) is expanded to include orbital-orbital coupling in addition...

Radioactive strontium-90 (90Sr2+) is a fission byproduct of uranium and plutonium production, and therefore understanding its environmental fate is of particular importance for predicting the evolution of long-term risk from historical releases. The nonr...

One of the most challenging components of the UK nuclear legacy is Magnox sludge, arising from the corrosion of Mg alloy-clad irradiated metallic U fuel that has been stored in high pH ponds. The sludges mainly comprise Mg hydroxide and carbonate phases,...
