Configurational analysis of uranium-doped thorium dioxide
While thorium dioxide is already used industrially in high temperature applications, more insight is needed about the behaviour of the material as part of a mixed-oxide (MOX) nuclear fuel, incorporating uranium. We have developed a new interatomic potential model, commensurate with a prominent existing UO2 potential, to conduct configurational analyses of uranium-doped ThO2 supercells. Using th...

متن کاملA density functional theory study of uranium-doped thoria and uranium adatoms on the major surfaces of thorium dioxide
Thorium dioxide is of significant research interest for its use as a nuclear fuel, particularly as part of mixed oxide fuels. We present the results of a density functional theory (DFT) study of uraniumsubstituted thorium dioxide, where we found that increasing levels of uranium substitution increases the covalent nature of the bonding in the bulk ThO2 crystal. Three low Miller index surfaces h...
متن کاملUranium extraction from laboratory-synthesized, uranium-doped hydrous ferric oxides.
The extractability of uranium (U) from synthetic uranium-hydrous ferric oxide (HFO) coprecipitates has been shown to decrease as a function of mineral ripening, consistent with the hypothesis that the ripening process will decrease uranium lability. To evaluate this process, three HFO suspensions were coprecipitated with uranyl (UO2(2+)) and maintained at pH 7.0 +/- 0.1. Uranyl was added to the...
متن کاملUranium behaviour in the baboon after the deposition of a ceramic form of uranium dioxide and uranium octoxide in the lungs : implications for human exposure
U 0 2 and U 3 0 8 were inhaled by baboons in amounts such that the mass concentrat ions in the lungs were between about 3 and 20, and 1 and 7.4 t imes respectively those calculated in human lungs after exposure to 1 ALI of the compounds . The results show that 1 year later : 1) the initial lung deposits of uranium retained in the chest are greater for U 0 2 than for U 3 0 8 ; 2) the ratios of t...
