Abstract: | Immobilizing nuclear wastes has been one of the most important challenges in nuclear technology. A method to quantify and monitor the radiation damage to waste immobilizing crystalline materials like zircon is proposed. This method will make use of proton/ion channelling measurements of the crystalline containment sample or test crystalline sample placed in the crystalline or amorphous containment of nuclear waste for a long time from years to a few decades and the mathematical method to determine the structure collapse rate of the containment material using channelling measurements. Implementation procedure of this method/technique for radiation damage measurement in nuclear waste container materials is described. |
