“…IV (PO 4 ) 2 compounds (M II = Cd, Ca, Sr, Pb, Ba; M' IV = Ge, Ti, Mo, Sn, Hf, Zr, Pu, Np, U, Th) are subject of intensive research since they are proved to be interesting as ionic conductors, dielectrics, catalysts, ion exchangers, luminescent materials and UV-emitting Xray phosphors [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. They also find applications in the nuclear cycle, either as host matrices for actinide radwastes or, more recently, as products of the reaction of the spent nuclear fuel with tributyl phosphate during the reprocessing [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22].…”
