Helium and fission gas behaviour in magnesium aluminate spinel and zirconia for actinide transmutation

In order to reduce the long-term radiotoxicity of spent nuclear fuel, many studies are performed on partitioning and transmutation of actinides. In such a scenario, the long-lived radio-isotopes (mostly actinides) are partitioned from the nuclear waste, and subsequently transmuted or fissioned in a neutron flux in shorter-lived or stable...
