The deep geological disposal concept is widely accepted by the scientific community for the
storage of high activity level nuclear waste. It uses a multi-barrier system to isolate …

Beamline I22 at Diamond Light Source is dedicated to the study of soft-matter systems from
both biological and materials science. The beamline can operate in the range 3.7 keV to 22 …

Capturing uranium from seawater and spent fuel storage phase identification for nuclear
energy sustainable development represents the effective solution to carbon neutral. Here …

Micro-and nanoscopic X-ray techniques were used to investigate the relationship between
uranium (U) tissue distributions and adverse effects to the digestive tract of aquatic model …

Iron (oxyhydr) oxide minerals are ubiquitous in the sub-surface environment (eg soils and
sediments) and have the potential to act as a long-term barrier to the migration of …

Nuclear forensics is a rapidly growing field with a widespread impact on global
nonproliferation. From the beginning, nuclear forensic capabilities have been inextricably …

Environmental conditions in deep geological repositories for radioactive waste may involve
high pH values due to the degradation of concrete. However, the U (VI) sorption at such …

In the United Kingdom, decommissioning of legacy spent fuel storage facilities involves the
retrieval of radioactive sludges that have formed as a result of corrosion of Magnox nuclear …

Geological disposal is the globally preferred long-term solution for higher activity radioactive
wastes (HAW) including intermediate level waste (ILW). In a cementitious disposal system …

The behaviour of U (VI) in hyperalkaline fluid/calcite systems was studied over a range of U
(VI) concentrations (5.27× 10− 5 μM to 42.0 μM) and in two high pH systems, young and old …
