1. Introduction
The nuclear and ecological safety of the “Shelter” object at the Chornobyl Nu-
clear Power Plant is determined by the state of nuclear fuel and water [1-5]. During
the last 6 years, a large number of investigations was made on the Chornobyl’s
problem, some of the results were published [6-14]. All of them point to cardinal
changes of the melted fuel masses, i.e. the nuclear magma. The nuclear magma (or
fuel containing masses) is a glassy composite, which is formed from the melt of
CaO, MgO,Al2O3,Fe2O3, ZrO2, SiO2, H2O and up to 18% of UO2. Now it is be-
ing destroyed and transforms into a nuclear dust. One of the important factors of
the destruction is the decrease of fuel containing masses temperature, that enabled
water to penetrate magma body and actively interact with it [15].
The processes of glassy nuclear magma destruction are very complicated. First, it
is necessary to say that the magma, which consists of SiO2 to the extent of 30-60%,

is non-equilibrium amorphous medium with long relaxation time, and thus, exter-
nal factors, in particularly water, can rapidly alter the state of the medium. Even in
1986, when the nuclear magma was formed, one could state it was steadily destroyed
versus time. This was due to active processes of induced radioactive decay of 235U,
239Pu, 241Pu, products of which are hydrogen, tritium, inert gases, such as neon,
crypton, xenon and the whole range of unstable elements. The latter transform to
stable isotopes and radioactive elements with large half-lives (more than 10 5 years)
in response to neutron irradiation. The radioactive decay of nuclei of 235U, 239Pu,
241Pu or α-, β- transformations is accompanied by considerable yields of energy.
This causes intensive energy transfer in the medium, and thus an inhomogeneous
temperature distribution. Besides, the products of radioactive decays are in fact
nonequilibrium impurities in the glassy nuclear magma structure and according to
the theory of dislocations in solids, it can bring about substantial structural transfor-
mations, recrystallization. Much more complicated processes are connected with the
gaseous products of decay, namely, hydrogen, tritium, helium, neon, crypton, xenon.
Due to the small solvability of inert gases they gather inside the material of fuel el-
ements, for example UO2, and produce gaseous cavities. The formation and growth
of these cavities lead to swelling of the material. The amount of gas, accumulated in
irradiated magma can be large enough to result in its deformation and destruction.
The swelling depends on different factors such as temperature change, conditions
and intensity of irradiation, properties of a material. The growth of the gaseous
pores is a very important part of the swelling processes. Experimental investigations
[9] point to the significant porosity of the glassy nuclear magma. The process of
pore formation is promoted by the diffusion of gas atoms in various defects, cracks,
dislocations, diffusion of hydrogen to metals, etc. As a result of the macroscopic
diffusion because of temperature fluctuations gaseous pores may combine leading to
a large-scaled deformation.
The investigations made in 1989–1991 [9, 12, 13, 15] showed that glassy masses
of nuclear magma in the object were loosing their firmness. Obviously, this is a result
of irreversible physico-chemical processes in magma body.
After the decrease of surface temperature of glassy masses to 40–600C in the
average, pores and cracks in the nuclear magma were filled with water, which find
its way within through numerous holes in the roof and in the walls of the object,
due to the condensation from the interior air and sprinkling of nuclear dust. We
can recognize the following four major types of water interaction with the nuclear
fuel. First, the interaction with active core fragments. Second, the interaction with
persistently flooded nuclear magma. In view of high magma porosity the area and
intensity of the interaction are very large. Third, parts of nuclear magma, covered
by water seasonally. Fourth, the interaction of water with the nuclear dust.
Water in nuclear magma pores undergoes radiolysis because of α-, β-decays
and γ-radiation. Radiolysis products and water molecules at the interface “nuclear
magma – water” participate in complicated hydration [16, 17] of uranium UO 2,
plutonium PuO2 and other oxides of radioactive elements [4, 18, 19]. An intensive
leaching of uranium from nuclear magma and egress into indoor water basins at the
352
Diffusion of radioactive ions in the “Shelter” object
“Shelter” object occur. Experimental studies [3, 5, 15] indicate a significant variation
of uranium concentration in “Shelter” basins in time.
Fuel containing masses suffer considerable changes because of nuclear, physical
and chemical processes. A result of their interaction with water is the emergence
of yellow spots on the black ceramics [7, 8]. For the first time such yellow spots
were observed in 1991 [12]. They were investigated by means of electronic spec-
troscopy, X-ray phase and X-ray spectral analysis. As a result, it was cleared up
that yellow spots are the needle-like crystals of the uranium minerals with the main
phases such as: epiyantynite UO32H2O, studtite UO316CO31.91H2O, two modifi-
cations of UO44H2O, retzerfordine UO2CO3, and unnamed phases Na4UO2(CO3)3
and Na2UO2(CO3)22H2O [7, 8]. All of these minerals have one very significant
feature – they are well soluble in water. These mineral combinations along with
UO2, UO2+UO3, PuO2, (ZrU)O2, (UZr)SiO4 are nuclear hazardous materials with
a large amount of neutron moderators SiO2, Al2(SiO3)(OH)4, Na3PO4, CxHyOz,
CaMg(CO3)2, CaCO3, K2O, CaO,MgO, Fe2O3, ZnO2, H2O, C.
Summarizing the results of previous investigations, we can say that irreversible
processes are running inside the object “Shelter” increasing tendency of nuclear
fuel egress to the water basins of the object. This is one of nuclear hazard factors
inside the object premises. The problem of water interaction with fragments of
the destroyed active core of reactor, nuclear magma and nuclear dust is extremely
important because:
• Water interaction with nuclear magma causes a substantial increase of effective
neutron multiplication factor Keff , and as a result, local self-sustaining nuclear
chain reaction is possible [1-5].
• Due to the complicated processes of radiolysis, the eventual egress of the ra-
dioactive materials is observed, that in its turn causes uncontrollable transfer
of radioactive materials indoors and outdoors.
• When the nuclear magma is destroyed radioactive dust is produced (containing
uranium, plutonium, americium). It is another factor of ecological hazard to
the object.
Aqueous solutions of the salts in radioactive elements inside the object are in-
teracting with various construction materials, among them are concrete and glassy
masses of nuclear fuel. It is clear, that the character of such an interaction depends
very much on the state of these solutions. The presence of uranium, plutonium,
americium, curium in aqueous solutions and also their interaction with the fuel-
containing masses lead to intensive processes of water radiolysis as a result of α-
and β-decays and γ-radiation [3-5, 18, 19]. In the process of radiolysis chemically
active radicals are formed: hydrated electrons and ions H+, groups OH−, molecular
compounds H2, HO2, H2O2, that largely determines the character of interaction of
aqueous solutions with the different materials inside the object.
A particular attention should be paid to the interaction of aqueous solutions
with the glassy masses of nuclear fuel. And here we have to give the answer what
353
I.R.Yukhnovskii, M.V.Tokarchuk, R.I.Zhelem
is the role of the products of radiolysis of water in the process of destroying the
masses, what is the character of their interaction as well as to investigate their in-
fluence on the processes of diffusion of uranium, plutonium from the nuclear magma
into solutions [4, 18]. Another important question is how the products of radiolysis
influence the chemical reactions in which possible reactants are the ions of uranyl
UO2+
2 , plutonyl PuO2+
2 , and other complexes containing radioactive elements [19].
To utterly comprehend nuclear magma destruction and the egress of uranium into
water as well as to predict these processes, it is important to research radionuclide
diffusion in the “nuclear magma–water” system. Inhomogeneous equations for such
a system have been studied in [20, 23]. In so doing an important problem consists
in calculating the inhomogeneous diffusion coefficients for ions UO2+
2 , PuO2+
2 , Cs+,
Sr2+ at the interface “nuclear magma – water” as far as temperature, concentration
and pH vary. To do this qualitatively we now consider a statistical model taking into
account interactions between particles and their structural distribution, and apply
it to the phase “aqueous solution”.
2. Calculation of inhomogeneous diffusion coefficient for i ons
UO 2+
2 , Cs + in the “nuclear magma – water” system
We have investigated distribution functions for ions UO2+
2 , Cs+ at the inter-
face “nuclear magma – water” in [20, 21]. They appear to describe this structural
distribution in a qualitatively correct manner. Using them we are going to per-
form the calculation of inhomogeneous diffusion coefficients for ions UO2+
2 , Cs+ in
the aqueous solution interacting with glassy nuclear magma. For this purpose only
Markovian transport processes of ions in solutions will be considered. The mean flux
of k -species particles in the phase l is represented by the following expression:

Here we have restricted our computations to the only selfdiffusion coefficient (13)
on the basis of suitable moments (9), (10) for the ions UO2+
2 , Cs+. For this purpose,
density profiles from figure 1 were used. The ratio of selfdiffusion coefficient to bulk
value is plotted on figure 2 as a function of distance to nuclear magma surface.
Concentrations are accepted to be average for the “Shelter”.The calculations are
qualitative as far as a simple ionic model of solution is considered. As is expected
the diffusion coefficients for ions reach their bulk values far from the surface. For
ions of cesium this occurs faster. Near the surface,the coefficients increase, ionic
mobility is greater. It means that after UO2+

a result of complicated leaching (combination of ion exchange and silicon-oxygen
network depolymerization [4]), they are intensively repulsed away from the surface by
complex electrostatic forces. The larger distance from the surface, the less influence

it enlarges contact with aqueous solutions and promotes a more intensive egress
of radioactive elements into water basins of “Shelter”. The phenomenon is observed
experimentally [5]. Thus, there is a problem of radionuclide migration in these basins
and penetration into the outdoor ground water.
To calculate inhomogeneous interdiffusion coefficient we need to know direct
correlation functions ckk

2 (r, r′). This is a separate problem for a nonequilibrium
system. We are going to perform such investigations in future. They are important
in view of describing the correlation effects at the interface “nuclear magma – water”.
It is the region where active magma surface destruction occurs. We’ll also investigate
the behaviour of Dkk(r), D
