| Abstract: | The safe immobilization of nuclear waste in geological repositories is one of the major scientific challenges facing humanity
today. Crystalline ceramics hold the promise of locking up actinides from nuclear fuel and excess weapons plutonium in their
structure thereby isolating them from the environment. This paper presents the atomistic details of radiation damage in a
model ceramic, zircon. |
