10 The predicted standard Gibbs free energy of formation of Bonaccordite (4.14) is plotted as a solid line that corresponds to the energy scale on the right. Dotted lines denote the new Gibbs Free energy for possible synthesis reactions in PWRs that are denoted by (4.16)–(4.19). Numbers labeling lines on the plot correspond to the reactions given in (4.14) and (4.16)–(4.19) Concentrations of aqueous species are taken to be the observed values in the coolant at a pressure of 155bar.

The recent emphasis in the United States on developing abundant domestic sources of energy, together with an increasing awareness of the environmental hazards of fossil fuels, has led to a fresh look at the challenges of nuclear energy within the science and engineering community. One of these challenges is controlling the precipitation of porous o...
