Effects of Self Irradiation from 238Pu on Candidate Ceramics for Plutonium Immobilization

Abstract

In this document, we describe the results of radiation damage testing and characterization for specimens that were resintered to re-establish crystallinity. The phases in these specimens have become amorphous from radiation induced damage over the 8 months since sintering.
