AbstractAbstract
[en] In the framework of the current BMBF research project "Aufklärung von Thermodynamik und Speziation von Actiniden und Spaltprodukten bei höheren Temperaturen in Kombination von Schätzmethoden, spektroskopischen und quantenchemischen Methoden" Teilprojekt D, 02NUK039D, experimental as well as theoretical approaches were applied to fill in knowledge gaps regarding the temperature depence of the solubility of Zr-layered double hydroxides (Zr-LDH) and Ra-sulfates. The results of the Zr-LDH studies indicate that the temperature dependence of their solubility can be estimated according to the Van‘t Hoff approach, using ΔH° = -412 ± 14 kJ/mol and ΔS° = 4,00 ± 0,06 J/mol/K. Two independent experimental and theoretical approaches resulted in an identical enthalpy of formation of ΔG° = -1046 kJ/mol for a model Zr-LDH, MgAlZr(OH)Cl mHO. In the case of LDH, the combination of solubility data and minimization of the Gibbs free energy yield a very similar result as classical calorimetry. Therefore this approach can be seen as a good alternative for the estimation of ΔG° of LDH. A combined theoretical and experimental approach was applied to fill the knowledge gaps regarding the thermodynamics and temperature dependence of the solid-solution aqueous-solution system (SS-AS) (Ba,Sr,Ra)SO + HO. Based on theroretical methods and evaluation of experimental data, a consistent thermodynamic data set was developed which properly describes relevant properties of RaSO, e.g. the heat capacity. The thermodynamic studies also showed that the van‘t Hoff approach is suitable for the description of the RaSO solubility, but only if isocoulombic reactions are used. One important result of the newly constructed solubility diagrams of the ternary sulfate system (Ba,Sr,Ra)SO is a postulated minimum of the Ra solubility in the range of < 10 mol% SrSO. Therefore, the ternary SS-AS system (Ba,Sr,Ra)SO + HO was studied in detail in longterm batch recrystallization experiments. The microscopic results (TEM, SEM, EDX) indicate a complex recrystallization process, involving metastable phases rich in Ra. The metastable phases of selected samples showed a structural relationship with the original BaSO substrate. Both, the Ba-rich and the Sr-rich areas of the SS-AS system (Ba,Sr,Ra)SO + HO take up significant amounts of Ra, close to the predicted values. Within the duration of the experiments Ba and/or Sr do not always reach their equilibrium, indicating that the full equilibration of the system is not complete. However, in most experiments an approach to equilibrium can be recognized - confirming the thermodynamic model developed for this system in ThermAc3. The promotion of young academics has been another key aspect of this project. Therefore, two post-docs were funded by ThermAc3 at IEK-6. Their education in the field of nuclear safety and waste disposal is a key aspect of maintaining appropriate competence in Germany.

Im Rahmen des BMBF Verbundprojekts ThermAc3, Teilprojekt D, 02NUK039D wurden sowohl experimentelle als auch theoretische Studien zur Temperaturabhängigkeit der Löslichkeit von Zr-Doppelhydroxidverbindungen (Zr-LDH) und Ra-Sulfaten durchgeführt. Bei den Zr-LDH wurde festgestellt, dass die Temperaturabhängigkeit der Löslichkeit mit der Van‘t Hoff Gleichung beschrieben werden kann, mit ΔH° = -412 ± 14 kJ/mol und ΔS° = 4,00 ± 0,06 J/mol/K. Unabhängige experimentelle und theoretische Ansätze ergaben eine identische freie Bildungsenthalpie von ΔG° = -1046 kJ/mol für das Modellsystem der Zr-LDH, MgAlZr(OH)Cl mHO. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die Kombination von Löslichkeitsdaten und Minimierung der Gibbs‘schen Energie zu ähnlichen Ergebnissen führt wie die Kalorimetrie und dass daher dieser Ansatz eine gute Alternative zur Bestimmung von ΔG° von LDH darstellt. Ein kombinierter Ansatz theoretischer atomistischer Methoden, thermodynamischer Modellierungen und Experimente wurde dazu verwendet, die Wissenslücken zur Temperaturabhängigkeit des Mischkristallsystems (Ba,Sr,Ra)SO + HO zu füllen. In einem ersten Schritt wurde auf Basis theoretischer Methoden und verfügbarer experimenteller Ergebnisse ein konsistenter Datensatz entwickelt, in dem auch Eigenschaften wie z.B. die Wärmekapazität von RaSO sinnvoll dargestellt werden. Dabei stellte sich u.a. heraus, das die van‘t Hoff Schätzmethode für die Beschreibung der Temperaturabhängigkeit der RaSO-Löslichkeit geeignet ist, unter der Voraussetzung, dass isocoulombische Reaktionen verwendet werden. Ein wichtiges Ergebnis der neu konstruierten Löslichkeitskurven für das ternäre System ist ein postuliertes Minimum im Bereich von < 10 Mol% SrSO. Daher wurde das ternäre Mischkristallsystem sowohl im Ba-reichen, als auch im Sr-reichen Bereich detailliert in Langzeitexperimenten untersucht. Die Rekristallisation von Mischkristallen ist in beiden Fällen komplex und verläuft über Ra-reiche, metastabile Zwischenphasen. Die mikroskopische Untersuchung (REM, TEM, EDX) ausgewählter Proben deutet darauf hin, dass strukturelle Beziehungen zwischen ursprünglichem BaSO und neugebildeten metastabilen Phasen existieren. Auf dem Ba-reichen und Sr-reichen Ende wurden innerhalb des experimentellen Zeitrahmens die vorhergesagten Ra- Löslichkeiten und damit die Ra-Gehalte der Feststoffe vielfach erreicht. Allerdings dauert die Einstellung des Sr-Gehalts bzw. Ba-Gehalts der Mischkristalle länger und wird oft nicht vollständig erreicht. Der Verlauf der Konzentrationen näherte sich aber in einem Großteil der Experimente an die Vohersage an. Damit bestätigen die Rekristallisationsexperimente in Summe das hier neu entwickelte thermodynamische Modell für die Temperaturabhängigkeit des Systems (Ba,Sr,Ra)SO + HO. Die Förderung junger Nachwuchswissenschaftler stellte einen zusätzlichen Schwerpunkt dieses Projekts dar und so konnten ein Post-Doktorand und eine Post-Doktorandin am IEK-6 gefördert werden. Ihre Ausbildung im Bereich der nuklearen Sicherheits- und Entsorgungsforschung stellt einen wichtigen Beitrag zum Kompetenzerhalt in Deutschland dar.Original Title

AbstractAbstract
[en] The impact of burn-up on the instant release fraction (IRF) from spent fuel was studied using very high burn-up UO2 fuel (∝ 100 GWd/t) from a prototype high temperature reactor (HTR). TRISO (TRi-structural-ISO-tropic) particles from the spherical fuel elements contain UO2 fuel kernels (500 μm diameter) which are coated by three tight layers ensuring the encapsulation of fission products during reactor operation. After cracking of the tight coatings 85Kr and 14C as 14CO2 were detected in the gas fraction. Xe was not detected in the gas fraction, although ESEM (Environmental Scanning Electron Microscope) investigations revealed an accumulation in the buffer. UO2 fuel kernels were exposed to synthetic groundwater under oxic and anoxic/reducing conditions. U concentration in the leachate was below the detection limit, indicating an extremely low matrix dissolution. Within the leach period of 276 d 90Sr and 134/137Cs fractions located at grain boundaries were released and contribution to IRF up to max. 0.2% respectively 8%. Depending on the environmental conditions, different release functions were observed. Second relevant release steps occurred in air after ∝ 120 d, indicating the formation of new accessible leaching sites. ESEM investigations were performed to study the impact of leaching on the microstructure. In oxic environment, numerous intragranular open pores acting as new accessible leaching sites were formed and white spherical spots containing Mo and Zr were identified. Under anoxic/reducing conditions numerous metallic precipitates (Mo, Tc and Ru) filling the intragranular pores and white spherical spots containing Mo and Zr, were detected. In conclusion, leaching in different geochemical environments influenced the speciation of radionuclides and in consequence the stability of neoformed phases, which has an impact on IRF.

AbstractAbstract
[en] The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) implements safeguards measures in order to verify that member states are in compliance with their international legal obligations to use nuclear material and technology only for peaceful purposes. Safeguards measures, inter alia, include analytical measurements of samples taken during inspections at nuclear facilities. While the use of analytical techniques by the IAEA constantly requires quality control and further advancement, particle reference materials are needed for enhancing particle analysis methods in safeguards. This presentation reports on the development of an installation at Forschungszentrum Juelich capable of the production of microparticles, which are intended to be used as source material for certified reference materials. The first part of the presentation addresses the process development and optimization, e.g. influence of precursor chemistry on particle morphology. The second part discusses the particle characterization and analysis by electron microscopy, mass spectrometry and μ-X-ray methods.

AbstractAbstract
[en] Corrosion experiments with non-irradiated metallic UAl_x-Al research reactor fuel elements were carried out in autoclaves to identify and quantify the corrosion products. Such compounds, considering the long-term safety assessment of final repositories, can interact with the released inventory and this constitutes a sink for radionuclide migration in formation waters. Therefore, the metallic fuel sample was subjected to clay pore solution to investigate its process of disintegration by analyzing the resulting products and the remnants, i.e. the secondary phases. Due to the fast corrosion rate a full sample disintegration was observed within the experimental period of 1 year at 90 C. The obtained solids were subdivided into different grain size fractions and prepared for analysis. The elemental analysis of the suspension showed that, uranium and aluminum are concentrated in the solids, whereas iron was mainly dissolved. Non-ambient X-ray diffraction (XRD) combined with the derivative difference minimization (DDM) method was applied for the qualitative and quantitative phase analysis (QPA) of the secondary phases. Gypsum and hemihydrate (bassanite), residues of non-corroded nuclear fuel, hematite, and goethite were identified. The quantitative phase analysis showed that goethite is the major crystalline phase. The amorphous content exceeded 80 wt% and hosted the uranium. All other compounds were present to a minor content. The obtained results by XRD were well supported by complementary scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) analysis.

AbstractAbstract
[en] The behaviour of irradiated graphite (i-graphite) from a German research reactor was investigated under different boundary conditions for assessment of 14C-speciation and the release kinetics into the aqueous and gas phase. The results showed that most of released 14C remains in the solution. Under near neutral conditions, volatile 14C is predominantly in form of CO2 (i.e. 90%) with some minor fraction of 14CO + 14Corg. Almost negligible 14C release into the gas phase was detected under cementitious conditions, although the total 14C release increases. Evaluated release rates of 14C are discussed in the context of i-graphite disposal in the GDF Schacht Konrad. (author)

AbstractAbstract
[en] The first aim of this study was to determine the role of the structurally different kink sites at these steps for the crystal growth kinetics by computing the activation energies of the Ba2+, Ra2+ and SO42- ion attachment processes. Here, we have combined several advanced methods of computational quantum mechanics to optimize accuracy and efficiency of the simulations: a hybrid Density Functional Theory (DFT) and Soft-sphere Continuum Solvation (SSCS) approach for computation of barite-aqueous phase interface, and a Nudged Elastic Band (NEB) approach for calculation of activation energies. A barite (001) surface structure was constructed, including steps and all relevant attachment positions for kink-site nucleation, and verified by comparison with experimental data. Our simulations show that Ba2+ attachment to the [120] steps of the (001) surface is a complicated multistep process, involving several water detachment-steps and the formation of outer, inner sphere and bidentate complexes with the barite surface. Two mechanisms mainly determine the shape of the energy path, the creation of bonds and the dehydration of the attaching ion. Energy differences between ion attachment processes at different sites are predominantly caused by the influence of the different [120] steps. The rate-limiting steps for Ba2+ attachment were the formation of the first bond to the barite surface and complete uptake. The Ba2+ ion completely attached to the barite surface is the configuration with the lowest energy, and the Ba2+ ion completely dissolved is the minimum energy configuration with the highest energy. The energy pathway derived from this study can explain the barite growth exclusively by the driving forces of surface processes, which are also postulated to be responsible for the anisotropic barite (001) surface growth. This is not the case with the classical force-field-based approach of Stack et al. 2012, which shows the same basic minimum energy structures but with different relative energies and the inner sphere complex as the configuration with the lowest energy. The DFT-NEB-SSCS approach also provides more detailed energy paths that allow for an in-depth comparison of the different ion attachment processes at a certain site. On-going simulations for the uptake of 226Ra into the (001) barite surface indicate distinct differences between Ra2+ and Ba2+, related to the different water coordination numbers, and slight variations within the attachment path. Ra2+ could therefore be kinetically favored during recrystallization due to an easier dehydration compared to Ba2+ at the barite (001) surface

AbstractAbstract
[en] Quality Assurance and Control (QC) of analytical measurements on safeguards samples are of utmost importance to maintain the International Atomic Energy’s credibility with its Member States. For measurements of individual micrometer-sized particles, collected by inspectors on swipe samples, reference materials in particulate form are needed to implement a robust QC system. For this purpose, trilateral cooperation between the Office of Safeguards Analytical Services of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA-SGAS), the European Commission - Joint Research Centre Unit G.2, Geel, Belgium (JRC-Geel) and Forschungszentrum Jülich, Germany (Jülich) was established. The overall aim of the cooperation is to qualify Forschungszentrum Jülich as a laboratory for the provision of reference materials under the IAEA’s Network of Analytical Laboratories (NWAL). One essential milestone in the qualification process is the development and implementation of a reliable procedure for producing uranium microparticles. Meeting the IAEA’s requirements with respect to uranium microparticle production, the procedure established in Jülich over the past six years now produces samples that consist of uranium microparticles with well-defined properties; such as monodisperse particle size distribution and consistent isotopic composition. The role of the JRC-Geel in this cooperation is twofold: First, JRC-Geel prepares and certifies the uranyl nitrate base solutions used in particle production, taking into account the specifications provided by the IAEA. The isotopic compositions of the base solutions are first verified by IAEA-SGAS and then used at Jülich as a feed solution to produce the microparticles. Second, samples prepared by the Jülich procedure can then be certified for the uranium isotopic composition and possibly content by a team of JRC-Geel and IAEA analysts. Future research activities will focus on the production and characterisation of microparticles with defined mixed elemental compositions, such as Ln/U, Th/U and Pu/U microparticles. (author)

AbstractAbstract
[en] The uptake of the long-lived radionuclides Ra and Tc, as well as iodide and molybdate ions by various model phases representative for phases present in hydrated cements was investigated. The model phases were synthesized under argon atmosphere, using well established procedures (e.g., Atkins et al., 1991 and 1992; Baur et al., 2004). Sorption and uptake kinetics by the model phases were studied in static batch experiments under anoxic conditions. Experiments performed for up to 60 days indicate a strong uptake of radium by calcite and CSH phases. Uptake studies performed on iodide revealed the incorporation into AFm-SO. In contrast, no significant uptake of technetium, present as Tc(VII) in solution, by the various model phases was observed. Microanalytical investigations on the uptake of molybdate by AFm phases provided evidence of a molybdate substitution in AFm-SO.
