  3. 1. Introduction • A lot of studies have been carried out to understand properties of metamict minerals in the past. • Metamict minerals are characterized by amorphous states • but initially they were crystalline. Due to admixture of natural • radioactive elements such as U and Th, their crystal structures • were destroyed. • Metamict minerals can be considered as natural analogues • of ceramic nuclear waste-forms affected by radiation damage. • Therefore, the study of metamict minerals helps to understand behavior of waste forms under geological conditions.

  4. 2. Experimental Procedure

  5. 3. Sample description A mineral found as a large grain (2 x 3 x 2 cm in size) in granite pegmatites of Karelia, Russia It is assumed that initially it was single crystal.

  16. 5. Conclusion 16 • The temperature-induced structural recovery of metamict minerals is a complex process. • The essential redistribution of radionuclids was observed in the course of high-temperature recovery of initially metamict Y-Fe-niobate. • No formation of separate actinide-oxides was observed in matrices of the Y-Fe-niobate recrystallized in a broad range of annealing temperature.
