Abstract
Nuclear microprobe analysis offers a broad range of experimental metho ds to study in details the alteration process of uranium dioxide in sy nthetic groundwater. mu RBS has been used to determine uranium profile and deuteron-induced mu NRA has been used to measure oxygen and carbo n distributions after leaching tests conducted either in oxidizing or reducing conditions. Nuclear microprobe results are in good agreement with previous millibeam experiments, scanning electron microscopy obse rvations and geochemical calculations.
