Structural characterization of M(IV)1-xLn(III)xO2-x/2 (M = Ce, Th) mixed-oxid...
In the framework of GenIV program development, several physico-chemical properties of some foreseen fuels, including the chemical durability, have to be evaluated. In... -
Etude de deux nouvelles méthodes de géochronométrie : datation de formations ...
First, the U-serie disequilibrium dating method was re-examined using non-destructive y-spectrometry. A new low-background (< 10 ppb U- equivalent) Ge-HP y-... -
Uranium, thorium and their decay products in human food-chain
Uranium, thorium and their decay products are present in trace amounts in all rocks on Earth. Weathering, Mechanisms of soil formation and soil-plant transfers lead to... -
Are there any effects of the agricultural use of chemical fertiliser on eleme...
Mineral phosphorus fertilisers contain trace amounts of the radioactive isotopes of uranium (U) and thorium (Th) that may accumulate in the soil. This study... -

New functionalized β-diketiminate ligands and f elements
Β-Diketiminate ligands have received increased interest in coordination chemistry, especially for homogeneous catalysis. Their successful applications arise from an... -
Characterization of radiation sources from the fuel cycle. Applications to th...
The thorium cycle is a good candidate for replacing the current U/Pu cycle since the fissile nucleus of the cycle, 233U, has neutronic properties favourable to a much... -
Fission fragment angular distribution and fission cross section validation
The present knowledge of angular distributions of neutron-induced fission is limited to a maximal energy of 15 MeV, with large discrepancies around 14 MeV. Only 238U...
