abstract = {We report a comprehensive study on lanthanide
monouranate–based glass–ceramic (GC) composites as
potential waste forms for the immobilization of the
lanthanide actinide fraction waste arising from the
reprocessing of spent nuclear fuel (SNF). Although the
crystalline LnUO4 precursor prepared via a nitrate route can
be well stabilized in a sodium aluminoborosilicate glass,
the in situ crystallization of EuUO4 in glass from oxide
precursors (Eu2O3 and U3O8) is rather robust with regards to
various processing conditions such as waste loadings,
ceramic-to-glass ratios, and cooling rates. Scanning
electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy
investigations revealed the detailed microstructures, where
∼1–5-μm spheres for NdUO4 and EuUO4, and ∼1–5-μm
rectangular crystals for DyUO4 and HoUO4 were observed in
residual glasses. As designed, the pentavalent uranium has
been confirmed by diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. Overall,
LnUO4-based GC composite waste forms are chemically durable,
offering flexible processing options with wide operating
windows for SNF and process waste stream management.},
