Abstract

The radiation stability of polyphase titanate ceramic waste forms was studied using analytical transmission electron microscopy, in combination with in situ irradiation by 30 ke V He+ ions, followed by staged annealing. Newer ceramics often contain compounds that have no natural analogues which can provide a basis for estimating their long term response to alpha decay events. One technique which holds considerable promise for quick and reliable screening of candidate phases in situ transmission electron microscopy and ion implantation.
