Simulant chemistry for uranium and plutonium molten fuel salts: crystallographic investigation and thermodynamic modelling assessment of the NaCl–RECl 3 and NaCl-MgCl 2 -RECl 3 (RE = Ce, Nd) systems

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: In this study, new insights into the solid state chemistry of the systems NaCl–RECl 3 (RE = Ce, Nd) are presented, in which the intermediate compound suggested in the literature, i.e. Na 3 RE 5 Cl 18 , is investigated more closely.
