· Y2 U2 O8

Y₂U₂O₈ is a mixed rare-earth uranium oxide ceramic compound belonging to the family of actinide-bearing ceramics. This material is primarily of research and nuclear engineering interest, investigated for its potential as a nuclear fuel form or nuclear waste immobilization matrix that can accommodate uranium and other actinides in a stable crystalline structure. Its development is driven by the need for advanced ceramic materials that can safely contain and isolate radioactive elements while maintaining structural integrity under thermal and radiation environments.
