Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Chemical State of Complex Uranium Oxides [PDF]
We report here the first direct observation of U(V) in uranium binary oxides and analyze the gradual conversion of the U oxidation state in the mixed uranium systems. Our finding clarifies previous contradicting results and provides important input for the geological disposal of spent fuel, recycling applications and chemistry of uranium species.

Oxidation of Uranium Dioxide [PDF]
The oxidation of UO2 was studied by thermogravimetry and X-ray diffraction. It was clarified that the thermal history covering the first stage of the oxidation from UO2 to U3O UO7 significantly influenced the rate of the oxidation of the second stage from U3O7 to U3 O8.

Cathodoluminescence of uranium oxides [PDF]
The cathodoluminescence of uranium oxide surfaces prepared in-situ from clean uranium exposed to dry oxygen was studied. The broad asymmetric peak observed at 470 nm is attributed to F-center excitation.

Minimization of actinide waste by multi-recycling of thoriated fuels in the EPR reactor
The multi-recycling of innovative uranium/thorium oxide fuels for use in the European Pressurized water Reactor (EPR) has been investigated. If increasing quantities of 238U, the fertile isotope in standard UO2 fuel, are replaced by 232Th, then a greater

The oxidation of uranium tetrachloride
Abstract The oxidation of uranium tetrachloride was investigated by thermo-analytical and X-ray diffraction methods. It proceeds in the presence of oxygen at atmospheric pressure via uranyl chloride (UO2Cl2) as an intermediate product: UCl 4 + O 2 → UO 2 2 Cl 2 + CL 2 3 UO 2 Cl 2 + O 2
