Over the past four decades, the number of inorganic oxide and oxy-salt phases containing
stoichiometric quantities of hexavalent uranium has increased exponentially from a few …

Uranium-bearing radioactive wastes generated from the nuclear fuel cycle and the nuclear
medicine sector require conditioning to form stable waste forms for long-term geological …

The solubility of uranium and thorium has been measured under the conditions anticipated
in a cementitious, geological disposal facility for low and intermediate level radioactive …

Elevated concentrations of U in contaminated environments necessitate understanding
controls on its solubility in groundwaters. Here, calculations were performed to compare U …

Abstract Finchite (IMA2017-052), Sr (UO2) 2 (V2O8)· 5H2O, is the first uranium mineral
known to contain essential Sr. The new mineral occurs as yellow-green blades up to~ 10 μm …

Determining ionizing radiation in a geographic area serves to assess its effects on a
population's health. The aim of this study was to evaluate the spatial distribution of the …

Uranyl vanadate compounds with divalent cations, M (UO2)(V2O7)(M= Ca, Sr) and Sr3
(UO2)(V2O7) 2, were synthesized by flux crystal growth, and their crystal structures were …

Margaritasite is a mineral compound discovered in the early 1980s in Chihuahua, Mexico. It
is a natural cesium uranyl vanadate found only, so far, in the Margaritas mine of the Peña …

Among the wide range of natural uranium minerals, uranyl vanadates have attracted
particular attention due to the economic viability of co-producing uranium and vanadium for …

The aim of this study was to develop a synthesis of metatyuyamunite (Ca (VUO6) 2· 3-5H2O)
and carnotite (KVUO6· 1-3H2O) under hydrothermal conditions. Also, crystals obtained from …
