Ca₃UO₆ is a uranium-bearing ceramic compound that forms part of the calcium uranate family, characterized by mixed-valence uranium oxides in a ceramic matrix. This material is primarily encountered in nuclear fuel chemistry and radioactive waste immobilization research rather than conventional engineering applications; it represents an important phase in the U-Ca-O system studied for understanding nuclear fuel behavior, corrosion products in spent fuel pools, and potential host phases for uranium encapsulation in geological storage or waste conditioning.
