This review summarizes the recent developments regarding the use of uranium as nuclear
fuel, including recycling and health aspects, elucidated from a chemical point of view, ie …

The front-end of the nuclear fuel cycle encompasses several chemical and physical
processes used to acquire and prepare uranium for use in a nuclear reactor. These same …

The surface morphology characteristics of postenrichment deconversion products in the
nuclear fuel cycle are important for producing nuclear fuel pellets. They also provide the first …

Metaschoepite,[(UO2) 8O2 (OH) 12](H2O) 10, maintained in a high relative humidity (RH)
environment with air initially transformed into an intermediate phase that subsequently was …

Understanding the alteration mechanisms of UO2-based nuclear fuel has a range of
practical implications for both short-and long-term storage of spent fuel rods and …

Identification of radioactive materials is a critical goal of resource exploration, basic actinide
science, and nuclear forensics, and we provide here new insights toward rapid …

Uranyl fluoride (UO2F2) particles (< 20 μm) were subjected to first-of-its-kind analysis via
simultaneous laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) and laser ablation multi …

This manuscript describes the chemical transformations that occur during hydrolysis of
uranium tetrafluoride (UF4) due to its storage in humid air (85% and 50% relative humidity) …

Under humid conditions, uranyl fluoride ([(UO 2 F 2)(H 2 O)] 7· 4H 2 O) undergoes a loss of
fluorine to form a uranyl hydroxide species, which can be further hydrated to form a uranyl …

Ammonium molybdophosphate (AMP) has been modified via milling in air as well as
deposition onto titania and silica using mechanochemical and sol–gel techniques. Prepared …
