An Investigation on the Persistence of Uranium Hydride during Storage of Simulant Nuclear Waste Packages.
Synchrotron X-rays have been used to study the oxidation of uranium and uranium hydride when encapsulated in grout and stored in de-ionised water for 10 months. Periodic synchrotron X-ray tomography and X-ray powder diffraction have allowed measurement and identification of the arising corrosion pro...
