The U 1− y Gd y O 2− x solid solutions with y= 0.005, 0.01, 0.03, 0.05 and 0.1 were
characterized by Raman spectroscopy to investigate the defect structure induced by oxygen …

There has been an increased interest in geopolymer materials thanks to their properties
often superior to commonly used concrete. In nuclear technology, geopolymers are mostly …

Three important failure mechanisms that must be controlled in high-temperature gas-cooled
reactor (HTGR) fuel for certain higher burnup applications are SiC layer rupture, SiC …

The lattice deformations in two doped fluorite systems,(U 1− x Gd x) O 2.00 and (Th 1− x Gd
x) O 2− x/2, have been reassessed by precise X-ray and electron diffraction investigations …

At the equilibrium state, there is a balance between concentrations of various point defects.
The number of defects may be described by the equations similar to the law of mass action …

The influence of the Nd-doping ratio and oxygen vacancies on the structural properties and
electrochemical reactivity of U 1-y Nd y O 2-x (x≈ y/2, y= 0.02, 0.06, and 0.1) solid solutions …

Abstract Uranium dioxide (urania, UO 2) and thorium dioxide (thoria, ThO 2) doped with
gadolinium oxide (gadolinia, Gd 2 O 3) were prepared via solid-state synthesis. For Gd 2 O 3 …

The combination of new fuel compositions and higher burn-ups envisioned for the future
means that representing fuel properties will be much more important, and yet more complex …

In this study, the solubilities of oxygen in molten La, Gd, Tb, Ho, and Er metals were
measured and the oxide phases in equilibrium with each of these lanthanoid metals were …
