Abstract

Metamict damage cross-sections for the candidate nuclear fuel waste immobilization materials CsAlSi5O12 and CsZr2(PO4)3 irradiated with 3 MeV argon ions were found to be 0.6±0.2 nm2 and 0.7±0.3 nm2, respectively, from powder X-ray diffraction measurements. Based on caesium extraction into solution, heavy irradiation produced increases of up to a factor of 25 in the dissolution rates of the materials in deionized water and a brine at 100° C.
