Celebrating 60 years of civil nuclear power generation offers an excellent opportunity to review synchrotron radiation (SR)-based techniques to characterize nuclear materials and elucidate processes relevant to the nuclear fuel cycle. The penetration capability of intense SR X-ray sources allows in situ investigations, including samples within radiological containments or specialized environments. The presentation will concentration on application of X-ray spectroscopic techniques in studies related to the nuclear fuel cycle (fuel, cladding, recycle, waste disposal).
