Abstract | The anodic reactivity of UO 2 and UO 2 doped with Gd 2 O 3 was investigated by electrochemical methods in slightly alkaline conditions in the presence of silicate and calcium. At the end of the experiments, the electrodes were analysed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy to determine the oxidation state of the uranium on the surface. The experiments showed that the increase in gadolinia doping level led to a reduction in the reactivity of UO 2 , this effect being more marked at the highest doping level studied (10 wt.% Gd 2 O 3 ). This behaviour could be attributed to the formation of dopant-vacancy clusters (Gd III -Ov), which could limit the accommodation of excess O 2− into the UO 2 lattice. In addition, the presence of Ca 2+ and SiO 3 2− decreased the anodic dissolution of UO 2 . In summary, the Gd 2 O 3 doping in presence of silicate and calcium was found to strongly decrease the oxidative dissolution of UO 2 , which is a beneficial situation regarding the long-term management of spent nuclear fuel in a repository. |
