U6+ minerals and inorganic compounds: insights into an expanded structural hierarchy of crystal structures
TL;DR: In this article, 368 inorganic crystal structures that contain essential U6+ are considered (of which 89 are minerals) and arranged on the basis of the topological details of their structural units, which are formed by the polymerization of polyhedra containing higher-valence cations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization and remediation of soils contaminated with uranium.
TL;DR: The objective of this paper is to develop a better understanding of the techniques for the remediation of soils polluted with radionuclides (uranium in particular), considering the chemical forms of uranium, including depleted uranium (DU) in soil and other environmental media, their characteristics and concentrations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Crystal chemistry of the monazite structure
TL;DR: The AXO4 monazite-type compounds form an extended family that is described in this article in terms of field of stability versus composition, and all the substitution possibilities on the cationic and anionic sites leading to the Monazite structure are reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mobility of uranium during weathering
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the mineralogical and geochemical mechanisms of U fixation under oxidizing conditions in the vicinity of the secondary U ore deposit at Koongarra, Australia, using transmission and scanning electron microscopy and thermodynamic calculations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Alteration of uraninite from the Nopal I deposit, Pen˜a Blanca District, Chihuahua, Mexico, compared to degradation of spent nuclear fuel in the proposed U.S. high-level nuclear waste repository at Yucca Mountain, Nevada
TL;DR: In this article, the Nopal I uraninite has been shown to be similar to the U.S. high-level nuclear waste (HLW) repository at Yucca Mountain, Nevada.
