Synthesizing Spiniel for Encapsulating Radionuclides
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory scientists synthesize spinel that can be used to encapsulate volatile radionuclides from the Hanford waste to increase their retention during the vitrification process. This scanning electron micrograph of crystalline trevorite spinel (NiFe2O4) was made by heating oxide constituents in a molten salt flux within an evacuated and sealed fused quartz ampoule.
