Oxidation of Micro- and Nanograined UO(2) Pellets by In Situ Synchrotron X-ray Diffraction

[Image: see text] When in contact with oxidizing media, UO(2) pellets used as nuclear fuel may transform into U(4)O(9), U(3)O(7), and U(3)O(8). The latter starts forming by stress-induced phase transformation only upon cracking of the pristine U(3)O(7) and is associated with a 36% volumetric expansi...
