Abstract
The properties of a standard UO 2 fuel and three SIMFUEL materials (unirradiated analogues of used nuclear fuels) have been characterized electrochemically and under natural corrosion conditions. The general oxidation and reduction behaviour was determined voltammetrically. The effect of substituents on the surface reactivity was determined by studying the electroreduction of O 2. Under natural corrosion conditions, SIMFUELS oxidize more rapidly than does UO 2, but then appear to dissolve at a similar rate.
