Abstract

AbstractThe oxidation of CANDU fuel (UO2) by the alpha-radiolysis products of water has been investigated using electrochemical and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic-experiments. Experiments with O2 and H2O2, two of the expected products of radiolysis of water, indicate that the rate of oxidation of UO2 by H2O2 is about 200 times faster than by dissolved oxygen. Oxidation by both H2O2 and O2 shows pH dependence. Possible reaction paths for the oxidation of UO2 by radiolysis products are discussed.
