ABSTRACTOne promising host for actinide wastes is garnet-type phases of general formula AVIII3BVI 2[XO4]3. To determine the isomorphic capacity of garnet for uranium, the CaO – Fe2O3 – Al2O3 – SiO2 – ZrO2 – Gd2O3 – UO2 system was studied. Experiments were performed in air medium at 1400 – 1500 °C and 1 atm. The garnets have high capacity for Gd and Zr, while incorporation of U was found to be greatly dependent on the phase composition. Uranium content decreased from 18 wt.% in Ca-Zr-Fe garnet to 0.6 wt.% in Si-doped phases. Heavy ion irradiation (1.0 MeV Kr++) experiments were carried out for a garnet with maximal U content, (Ca2.7U0.3)VIII(Zr1.7Fe0.3)VI(Al1.1Fe1.9)IVO12. Amorphization dose of the phase was equal to 1.63×1014 ions/cm2 that is close to the other actinide hosts, such as pyrochlore Gd2Ti2O7.

AbstractThe effects of cascade remnants on Freely Migrating Defects (FMD) were studied by measuring Radiation-Induced Segregation (RIS) in Cu-l%Au at 400°C during simultaneous irradiation with 1.5-MeV He and (400-800)-keV heavy ions (Ne, Ar or Cu). The large RIS observed during 1.5-MeV He-only irradiation was dramatically suppressed under simultaneous heavy ion irradiation. For Cu simultaneous irradiation, the suppression disappeared immediately after the Cu irradiation ceased, while for simultaneous inert gas (Ne or Ar) irradiation, the suppression persisted after the ion beam was turned off. These results demonstrate that the displacement cascades created by heavy ions introduce additional annihilation sites, which reduce the steady-state FMD concentrations. As the cascade remnants produced by Cu ions are thermally unstable at 400°C, the RIS suppression occurs only during simultaneous irradiation. On the other hand, the inert gas atoms which accumulate in the specimen apparently stabilize the cascade remnants, allowing the suppression to persist.
