Abstract

The pyrochlore structure type is a common constituent of polyphase, crystalline waste forms. Naturally occurring minerals with the same structure often occur in the radiation damaged, electron-diffraction amorphous, 'metamict' state; and therefore, a principal concern with phases of this structure type is the effect of alpha-recoil damage associated with the presence of actinides. In this paper we outline crystal chemical constraints on the formation of novel actinide pyrochlores.
