Abstract
This communication presents a first set of experiments dedicated to the stu dy of the interactions between caesium and UO2 particles emitted at 2300 de grees C from a reconstituted nuclear fuel and deposited onto relatively ine rt surfaces (Al foils). It demonstrates that any further behaviour of Cs st rongly depends on the temperature and on the oxidizing potential of the atm osphere acting on deposited radioactive particles.
