The fate of the epsilon phase (Mo-Ru-Pd-Tc-Rh) in the UO₂ of the Oklo natural fission reactors

In spent nuclear fuel (SNF), the micrometer- to nanometer-sized epsilon phase (Mo-Ru-Pd-Tc-Rh) is an important host of ⁹⁹Tc which has a long half life (2.13×10⁵ years) and can be an important contributor to dose in safety assessments of nuclear waste repositories...
