Nuclear accidents that lead to melting of a reactor core create heterogeneous materials
containing hundreds of radionuclides, many with short half-lives. The long-lived fission …

Metal oxide clusters, especially transition-metal polyoxometalates, have been studied for
decades because they provide a rare opportunity to study nanoscale materials with well …

Photocatalytic uranium removal from radioactive wastewater is considered as a green
method to prevent environment contamination. However, almost all photocatalysts are used …

The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of uranium speciation using vibrational
spectroscopy methods including Raman and IR. Uranium is a naturally occurring …

The Fukushima-Daiichi nuclear accident brought together compromised irradiated fuel and
large amounts of seawater in a high radiation field. Based on newly acquired …

Uranium contamination derived from nuclear mining and nuclear waste has caused severe
environmental and public health problems. Photocatalysis has been proved to be an …

Following the NPP accident, several hundred tons of heat-generating corium and fuel debris
have been cooled permanently by millions of m3 of flowing. Knowledge on the interaction …

The redox chemistry of the actinide elements plays a central role in many aspects of nuclear
fission technology including the reprocessing of spent fuel, safe disposal strategies and in …

The storage of spent nuclear fuels for long periods of time in geological repositories is one
proposed solution to the stewardship of legacy, current and future nuclear waste. Recent …

Studtite and meta-studtite are the only two uranyl peroxides found in nature. Sparsely
soluble studtite has been found in natural uranium deposits, on the surface of spent nuclear …
