Abstract

Borosilicate nuclear waste glasses with various amounts of simulated waste elements have been examined by analytical TEM. This preliminary Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy (STEM) study evaluates the capability of EELS for mapping coordination parameters of the base glass structure, to apply EDX-mapping and HAADF Z-contrast mapping for the characterisation and shape-mapping of common precipitates in nuclear glasses, such as molybdates, and to study irradiation effects.
