Uranium glasses III. uranium phosphate glasses

Abstract--The maximum concentration of uranium dioxide (40 w/o) was determined for stable, usable phosphate glasses. A number of such glasses were developed and probable structures are suggested. The properties of a typical high-urania-content phosphate glass are discussed and the effects of various intermediates and modifiers are considered

Uranium glasses: I. Fundamental considerations

The principles involved in forming glasses containing uranium are discussed. Materials having low thermal neutron cross sections that could be useful components in a uranium glass are listed and their properties are discussed

Uranium glasses: II. Uranium silicate glasses

The maximum concentration of uranium dioxide (45 w/o) was determined for silicate glasses. A number of stable glasses were developed. The properties of a typical high-urania-content silicate glass are discussed
