Abstract
These leaching experiments report the effects of four important parameters (redox potential, pH, carbonate concentration and temperature) on the dissolution kinetics of the spent fuel matrix phase. The kinetic of dissolution of irradiated UO2 fuel has been studied in deionized water and synthetic granite groundwater under oxidising conditions at room temperature.
