NEUP CINR-17-13125: The Thermodynamics of Crystallization and Phase-Separation in Melt-Derived Nuclear Waste Forms

This projects seeks to understand the thermodynamics of melt and quench phases of nuclear waste glasses and glass ceramics and link this information to the underlying short-range and medium-range structure. Advanced calorimetric techniques and neutron total scattering with pair distribution function analysis will be applied to obtain these data. These efforts will be complemented by computer simulations. This project involves UTK, UCD, PNNL and one institution in the UK.
