· Ba2 U2 Si4 O16

Ba₂U₂Si₄O₁₆ is a uranium silicate ceramic compound belonging to the family of actinide-bearing oxide materials. This is a research-phase compound primarily investigated for nuclear waste immobilization and fundamental studies of uranium crystal chemistry rather than established commercial production. The material's interest lies in its potential to incorporate uranium into stable crystalline phases for long-term radioactive waste storage, though it remains largely experimental and is not widely deployed in industrial applications.
