Interface phenomena in synroc, a titanate-based nuclear waste ceramic

Several aspects of Synroc which fall into the broad class of interface phenomena are discussed. These are radiation damage processes which give rise to interfaces between damage tracks and neighbouring unirradiated material, intergranular films which have deleterious effects on chemical durability, and aqueous leaching of Synroc which takes place primarily at the interface between the solid and groundwater. © 1995 Elsevier B.V.
