Thermal transport study in actinide oxides with point defects
Nuclear Engineering and Technology, 2019 We use a molecular dynamics simulation to explore thermal transport in oxide nuclear fuels with point defects. The effect of vacancy and substitutional defects on the thermal conductivity of plutonium dioxide and uranium dioxide is investigated.

Influence of Chironomus riparius (Diptera, Chironomidae) and Tubifex tubifex (Annelida, Oligochaeta) on oxygen uptake by sediments. Consequences of uranium contamination [PDF]
, 2009 The diffusive oxygen uptake (DOU) of sediments inhabited by Chironomus riparius and Tubifex tubifex was investigated using a planar oxygen optode device, and complemented by measurements of bioturbation activity.

Laboratory simulation of uranium metal corrosion in different soil moisture regimes
MethodsX, 2020 A novel laboratory simulation system has been developed for the study of the corrosion of uranium metal in soils. Corrosion and transportation of depleted uranium (DU) as the metal undergoes weathering as a buried material within the soil environment ...

Thermodynamic properties of uranium dioxide: Electronic contributions to the specific heat [PDF]
, 1980 It has recently been proposed that the anomalous specific heat of uranium dioxide be ascribed to the effect of electronic defects rather than Frenkel disorder on the union sub-lattice.

Configurational analysis of uranium-doped thorium dioxide [PDF]
, 2015 While thorium dioxide is already used industrially in high temperature applications, more insight is needed about the behaviour of the material as part of a mixed-oxide (MOX) nuclear fuel, incorporating uranium.

Defect Clustering in Irradiated Thorium Dioxide and alpha-Uranium
, 2023 Thorium dioxide (ThO2) and metallic uranium (alpha-U) represent important alternative nuclear fuels. Investigating the behavior of defects introduced into these materials in an irradiation environment is critical for understanding microstructure ...
