In-situ, time resolved monitoring of uranium in BFS:OPC grout. Part 1: Corrosion in water vapour

Abstract Uranium encapsulated in grout was exposed to water vapour for extended periods of time. Through synchrotron x-ray powder diffraction and tomography measurements, uranium dioxide was determined the dominant corrosion product over a 50-week time period. The oxide growth rate initiated rapidly...
