There are a spread of U–O bond distances ranging from 1.82–2.60 Å. There are two inequivalent Pb2+ sites. In the first Pb2+ site, Pb2+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of Pb–O bond distances ranging from 2.34–3.20 Å. In the second Pb2+ site, Pb2+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine O2- atoms. There are a spread of Pb–O bond distances ranging from 2.39–3.21 Å. There are two inequivalent P5+ sites. In the first P5+ site, P5+ is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four O2- atoms. There is two shorter (1.55 Å) and two longer (1.56 Å) P–O bond length. In the second P5+ site, P5+ is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four O2- atoms. There is two shorter (1.54 Å) and two longer (1.57 Å) P–O bond length. There are ten inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to three Pb2+ and one P5+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one U6+ and one P5+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one U6+ and one Pb2+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two equivalent U6+ and one P5+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two Pb2+ and one P5+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two Pb2+ and one P5+ atom. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two equivalent Pb2+ and one P5+ atom. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one U6+ and two Pb2+ atoms. In the ninth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one U6+, two Pb2+, and one P5+ atom. In the tenth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one U6+, one Pb2+, and one P5+ atom.

Materials Data on UP2 by Materials Project

UP2 crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/nmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. U6+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine P3- atoms. There are a spread of U–P bond distances ranging from 2.73–2.88 Å. There are two inequivalent P3- sites. In the first P3- site, P3- is bonded to five equivalent U6+ atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing PU5 square pyramids. In the second P3- site, P3- is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent U6+ and four equivalent P3- atoms. All P–P bond lengths are 2.67 Å.

Groundwater table elevation and temperature from 2015 to 2024 at the Lower Montane site in the East River Watershed, Colorado.

This groundwater level elevation and temperature data package is aimed at improving the predictive understanding of hydro-biogeochemical processes at the lower montane site in the East River Watershed, Colorado. The dataset is obtained using pressure transducers placed in shallow wells in the floodplain. This dataset contains data from wells with Location ID's ER-DOW (alias DO1West), ER-DOE (alias DO2East), ER-MBA1 (alias M1Bend1), ER-MBA2 (alias M1Bend2), ER-UPW (alias UP1West), ER-UPM (alias UP2), ER-UPE (alias UP3East). Another dataset contains the data from wells with Location ID's ER-CPA1 to ER-CPA6. Each file contains the water level elevation and the water temperature. Water level elevation has been obtained using the barometric pressure from the pressure transducer (Hobos sensor) in the well, barometric pressure from a sensor in air located at the same site (lower montane), depth from top-of-casing (TOC) to sensor measurement point, and TOC elevation. Data have been checked with a few measurements of water table depths. A real-time kinematic (RTK) global positioning system (GPS) has been used to survey the TOC (data in file Well_Location.csv). The water level elevation is given in UTM13N Geoid2012AB. While depth to water level is not present in the data files, it can be easily calculated with the TOC and distance to ground provided in the GPS coordinate file. The dataset quality is discussed in Collection/Analysis section of the methods. Time-series of measurements were initially added to the archive for the period 2015 to 2019, and later updated with time-series until 2024 (end of data collection). The dataset contains 8 *.csv data files, and 3 *.csv metadata files. Feel free to contact the author with any questions or collaboration interests. The publication year was updated from "2020" to "2025" to reflect the revised version of this dataset.

Comparison of Industrialized Late 20th Century Flowsheets for Reprocessing Used Nuclear Fuel

This study identified and compared three flowsheets for reprocessing used nuclear fuel (UNF) industrialized in plants in the United Kingdom (the Thermal Oxide Reprocessing Plant), France (UP2-800/UP3) and Japan (the Rokkasho Reprocessing Plant). The study also identified the major implications for a plant in the United States if it were initiated. All flowsheets employed the established Plutonium Uranium Reduction Extraction (PUREX) solvent extraction technology to separate uranium and plutonium from UNF dissolved in nitric acid. However, differences in the approaches to managing iodine-129, tritium and technetium were identified in the flowsheets. A US plant would also need to separate krypton-85 as well as iodine-129 and tritium for immobilization and disposal.
