Behaviour of simplified nuclear waste glasses under gold ions implantation: A microluminescence study

Investigation of Radiation Damage in Trombay Nuclear Waste Glasses by ESR and Photoluminescence Techniques

“…Similar observations were reported for the Eu containing simplified borosilicate glasses[Bonfils et al (2007)] where the authors had observed no change in the Eu oxidation state. But similar to the observations on barium glass, they had reported the Eu sites to be more disordered after irradiation.…”

Alpha Decays Impact on Nuclear Glass Structure

“…In addition to SON68 glass, simplified glasses were also irradiated to facilitate structural analyses (Bureau et al, 2008, de Bonfils et al, 2007, de Bonfils et al, 2010. It was first necessary to check that irradiation led to similar changes in the glass properties (de Bonfils et al, 2010).…”

“…In order to understand the atomistic origin of the macroscopic properties variation of SON68 glasses under accumulation of alpha decays some structural studies were started more recently (de Bonfils et al, 2007, de Bonfils et al, 2010, Bureau et al, 2008, Delaye et al, 2011, Mendoza et al, 2012, Peuget et al, 2013. The objective of this paper is to review the structural evolution observed and discuss the associated damage mechanism.…”

Microstructure of Powellite‐Rich Glass‐Ceramics: A Model System for High Level Waste Immobilization

“…Several studies were conducted on simplified nuclear glasses with various irradiation processes like swift heavy ions, doping with radioelements, or electron irradiation . As far as electron irradiation is concerned, different works have shown significant structural changes in borosilicate glasses at integrated doses around 10 9 Gy.…”
