Structural and chemical insights on the incorporation of americium into zircaloy-derived monoclinic zirconia

Communications Chemistry
Monoclinic zirconia (m-ZrO2) forms on the internal surface of nuclear fuel Zircaloy cladding, acting as a critical barrier against radionuclide release at the fuel-cladding interface.

Establishing rapid analysis of Pu isotopes in seawater to study the impact of Fukushima nuclear accident in the Northwest Pacific

Scientific Reports, 2018
In order to assess the impact of the Fukushima derived Pu isotopes on seawater, a new analytical method to rapidly determine Pu isotopes in seawater by SF-ICP-MS including Fe(OH)2 primary co-precipitation, CaF2/LaF3 secondary co-precipitation and TEVA ...

Thermal Conductivity of Korean Compacted Bentonite Buffer Materials for a Nuclear Waste Repository

Energies, 2018
Engineered barrier system (EBS) has been proposed for the disposal of high-level waste (HLW). An EBS is composed of a disposal canister with spent fuel, a buffer material, backfill material, and a near field rock mass.

Laser‐Induced Graphene from Waste Almond Shells

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Almond shells, an abundant agricultural by‐product, are repurposed to create a fully bioderived almond shell/chitosan composite (ASC) degradable in soil. ASC is converted into laser‐induced graphene (LIG) by laser scribing and proposed as a substrate for transient electronics.

Long-term performance test of Cu canisters used for disposing of spent nuclear fuels under aerobic groundwater

Nuclear Engineering and Technology
Evaluating the long-term corrosion behavior of Cu under local groundwater is important for its use in fabricating disposal canisters. The long-term performance of KJ-I bentonite-embedded Cu disks was assessed for a testing period of 10 years. The results

Removal of Steroid Hormone Micropollutants by an Electrochemical Carbon Nanotube Membrane Flow‐Through Reactor: Role of Concentration and Degradation Mechanisms

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A flow‐through electrochemical membrane reactor equipped with a carbon nanotube membrane eliminates the mass transfer limitation, achieving removals >97.5% for steroid hormone (SH) micropollutants through electrochemical adsorption and degradation, over a broad initial concentration varying from 50 to 106 ng L−1.

Leaching behaviour of mercury from hazardous solid waste generated by chlor-alkali industry [PDF]

, 2013
Through the conventional chlor-alkali production process, highly mercury (Hg) contaminated waste sludge is produced. Improper handling and disposal of this sludge may cause an environmental hazard.

Cryo‐EM of Rationally Designed Photosystem I Nanoassembly on Graphene Validates Orientation‐Driven Enhancement of Photocatalytic Performance

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The first cryo‐EM visualization and quantification of oriented Photosystem I (PSI) on single‐layer graphene is reported. Domain‐specific covalent anchoring of PSI, with the reducing side of the biophotocatalyst toward graphene, promotes three‐fold higher anodic photocurrent generation compared to a randomly physisorbed counterpart. This approach allows
