| Description | This cluster of papers focuses on the use of pyrochlore, a complex oxide, as a nuclear waste form for the immobilization of plutonium and minor actinides. The papers cover topics such as radiation tolerance, amorphization resistance, crystal chemistry, ion irradiation effects, and structural studies related to pyrochlore-based materials for high-level nuclear waste immobilization. |
