摘要
Next-generation nuclear reactor technologies such as the molten salt reactor utilize alkali metal fluoride salts as both fuel and coolant. In the present study, the suitability of iron phosphate glass (IPG) as a vitrification matrix for alkali metal fluoride (NaF, CaF2) and simulated fission product loaded fluoride (NdF3, CeF3, SmF3) waste has been explored. The structural change in the metal fluoride-loaded IPG has been analyzed thoroughly using Raman and fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Thermal analysis showed that the stability and glass forming ability of IPG improved upon loading the same with various mixed metal fluorides. Mossbauer data and X-ray absorption spectroscopy at Fe K-edge explored the minute changes in the local structure. The effect of radiation emanating from radioactive wastes in the fluoride-loaded IPG has been scrutinized via 4.5 MeV proton beam irradiation. Our study firmly establishes the applicability of IPG as suitable vitrification matrix for radioactive metal fluoride-loaded nuclear wastes.
