Impact of ruthenium metallic particles on the dissolution of UO2 in nitric acid
Abstract UO2 pellets incorporating 3 mol.% of Ru was prepared by using a wet chemistry route and then characterised. The speciation, morphology, as well as spatial distribution of Ru in the sintered samples, were determined. The synthesised samples were submitted to dissolution tests in 0.1 M nitric...
