TLDR
In this paper, the effects of self-radiation damage from alpha decay were determined as a function of cumulative dose, and the macroscopic swelling of the specimens increased exponentially with dose to limiting (saturation) values of 5.1 and 6.0% for Gd2Ti2O7 and CaZrTi 2O7, respectively.About:

Radiation effects in nuclear waste forms for high-level radioactive waste
TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive review of radiation effects due to γ-, β- and α-decay events, as well as from actinide doping experiments and particle irradiations, on nuclear waste form glasses and crystalline ceramics was provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
Defect-interface interactions
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review the present understanding of defect-interface interactions in single-phase and two-phase metal and oxide nanocomposites, emphasizing how interface structure affects interactions with point, line, and planar defects.

Radiation stability of gadolinium zirconate: A waste form for plutonium disposition
TL;DR: In this article, Zirconate and titanate pyrochlores were subjected to 1 MeV of Kr+ irradiation and showed a systematic change in the susceptibility to radiation-induced amorphization with increasing Zr content.

Immobilisation of high level nuclear reactor wastes in SYNROC
TL;DR: In this article, the elements occurring in high-level nuclear reactor wastes can be safely immobilised by incorporating them within the crystal lattices of the constituent minerals of a synthetic rock (SYNROC).
