Abstract A sample of zirconolite with nominal composition Ca 0.80 Ce 0.20 ZrTi 1.60 Cr 0.40 O 7 was processed via Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP), a dwell temperature and pressure 1320 °C/100 MPa maintained for 4 h. The produced wasteform characterised by powder XRD, SEM–EDS, L 3 K-edge XANES. significant portion the inventory did not fully partition within phase, instead remaining as CeO 2 micros...
