Durabilities of Pyrochlore-Rich Titanate Ceramics Designed for Immobilization of Surplus Plutonium
The chemical durabilities of two Pu-doped pyrochlore samples were studied by Single-Pass-Flow-Through (SPFT) tests at 70°C. The dissolution of pyrochlore is incongruent with preferential releases of Ca and Gd ...
