In the process of high‐level nuclear waste (HLW) disposal, monazite, LaPO4 is considered as one of the potential phosphate ceramics to immobilize lanthanides and actinides. HLW along with hazardous long‐lived nuclides contains elements such as Zr, Mo, etc. in higher wt%. In the current investigation, an attempt was made to introduce “Mo” into the monazite lattice. The phosphomolybdates of the formula La1−xCaxP1−yMoyO4, x, y=0.1–0.9 were synthesized by a solution route and characterized by powder X‐ray diffraction, FT‐IR, TGA/DTA, and scanning electron microscopic techniques. The phases with compositions La0.9Ca0.1P0.9Mo0.1O4, La0.8Ca0.2P0.8Mo0.2O4, and La0.7Ca0.3P0.7Mo0.3O4 were found to be crystallized in monazite structure. The composition La0.1Ca0.9P0.1Mo0.9O4 with X=Y=0.9 crystallized in the scheelite structure. The compositions indicate the immobilization of ∼4.1, 8.5, 12.9, and 42.5 at. wt% of “Mo.” With x, y=0.6, 0.5, 0.4, 0.3, and 0.2, along with the monazite phase, formation of a secondary phase LaP3O9 was observed.
