Crystalline Materials For Actinide Immobilisation

This book summarises approaches and current practices in actinide immobilisation using chemically-durable crystalline materials such as ceramics and monocrystals.As a result of the increasing worldwide growth of the nuclear industry, long-lived α-emitting actinides such as Pu, Np, Am and Cm are fast becoming a serious environmental concern — actinide-bearing wastes have accumulated in different co...
