Raman phonons in RPO{sub 4} crystals.

Description: Orthophosphates formed by elements in the first half of the lanthanide transition series (La, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu and Gd) are structural analogs to the monoclinic mineral monazite. This mineral is characterized by an almost unique combination of properties that make its synthetic forms attractive as possible hosts for the long-term storage of actinide wastes. Crystals of lanthanide orthophosphates were grown by dissolving and by reacting lanthanide oxides in molten lead pyrophosphate at high tempera… more

Physical and Chemical Characteristics of Lead-Iron Phosphate Nuclear Waste Glasses

Description: Experimental determinations of the properties of lead-iron phosphate glasses pertinent to their application to the problem of permanently disposing of high-level nuclear wastes have been carried out. These investigations included studies of the composition and physical properties of nuclear waste glasses (NWG), as well as the effect of preparation conditions. Lead-iron phosphate nuclear waste glasses were prepared by dissolving simulated US defense wastes or simulated commercial power reactor w… more
