Plutonium Migration during the Leaching of Cemented Radioactive Waste Sludges

Plutonium Migration during the Leaching of Cemented Radioactive Waste Sludges

One of the most challenging components of the UK nuclear legacy is Magnox sludge, arising from the corrosion of Mg alloy-clad irradiated metallic U fuel that has been stored in high pH ponds. The sludges mainly comprise Mg hydroxide and carbonate phases, contaminated with fission products and actini...
