Abstract
The irradiation-induced nuclear waste material has been investigated. Alpha particles are considered as the waste radiation. The material aspects are considered for four kinds of materials, which are used for the nuclear waste forms. These materials are compared for the possibility of the irradiation-induced amorphization. Several variables are investigated for the ion radiation interactions. We have used the Stopping and Range of Ion in Matter 2008 (SRIM 2008) code system to show that the ion dose is changed to the displacement per atom (dpa) completely and the kinetic energy is transferred to each target atom through nuclear collision. The necessary thickness of the waste form has been investigated. More reasonable study has been done for the nuclear waste material container. The thickness of 204 nm is considered for the optimized structure of waste drum by crystalline silicotitanate.
