Tailoring the radiation tolerance of vanadate–phosphate fluorapatites by chemical composition control by Lu, Fengyuan, Dong, Zhili, Zhang, Jiaming, White, Timothy John, Ewing, Rodney C., Lian, Jie

“…The apatite-type structure of AI4AII6(BO4)6(OH, F, Cl)2 (AI, AII = Ca, Na, rare earths, fission product elements such as I and Tc, and/or actinides; B = Si, P, V, or Cr) offers unique structural advantages as an advanced nuclear waste form because a wide variety of actinides and fission products can be incorporated into the structure through coupled cation and anion substitutions. …”
