New Facility

AbstractThe MARS (Multi-Analyses on Radioactive Samples) beamline, at Synchrotron Soleil (France) is fully dedicated to advanced structural and chemical characterizations of radioactive matter (solid or liquid), coupling analytical tools such as X-ray absorption spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, X-ray fluorescence and associated micro-beam techniques. This beamline is now partially operational and has completed its first year of working with samples below exemption limits. This paper describes the beamline design and its technical specifications as well as the standard equipment of the experimental stations and the first obtained results.

AbstractThe choice of surrogate for plutonium oxide for use during the initial stages of research into the immobilization of intermediate level pyrochemical wastes containing plutonium andamericium oxides in a calcium phosphate host has been investigated by powder X-ray diffraction and X-ray absorption spectroscopy. Two non-radioactive surrogates, hafnium oxide and cerium oxide, together with radioactive thorium oxide were compared. Similarities in behaviour were observed for all three surrogates when calcined at the lowest temperature, 750°C but differences became more pronounced as the calcination temperature was increased to 950°C. Although some reaction occurred between all the surrogates and the host to form a substituted whitlockite phase, increasing the temperature led to a significant increase in the cerium reaction and the formation of an additional phase, monazite. Additionally it was observed that the cerium became increasingly trivalent at higher temperatures.
