Simulation of alpha dose for predicting radiolytic species at the surface of spent nuclear fuel pellets

In many countries, spent nuclear fuel is considered as a waste form to be disposed of in underground disposal. Under deep host rock conditions, a reducing environment prevails. In the case of water contact, long-term radionuclide release from the fuel depends on dissolution processes of the UO2 matr...
