CaTh(PO4)2 cheralite as a candidate ceramic nuclear waste form: Spark plasma sintering and physicochemical characterisation

In order to fulfil the requirements as an actinide waste form, cheralite (CaTh(PO4)2) needs to be stabilised into a dense material. Thermal stability studies indicated that heat treatment causes gradual decomposition of CaTh(PO4)2 into the corresponding oxides above 1550K. Thus, conventional sinteri...
