Abstract

The Institute for Transuranium Elements (ITU) is installing a Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectrometer, dedicated to structural studies of solid actinides samples. NMR provides an ideal means to investigate the local structure of compounds and in particular the build-up of defects in actinide materials due to radiation damage. NMR can also play an important role in the verification and qualification of new theoretical models, ultimately leading to improved property prediction, with limited recourse to heavy experiments for full performance validation. In this presentation, at the system at JRC-ITU will be described, and the progress made will be highlighted by results on oxides ((Th,U)O
solid solutions), and other actinides compounds.
