Abstract Actinide chemistry and electronuclear cycle: contribution of synchrotron radiation The topics related to actinide chemistry involved in the civil nuclear industry follow the electronuclear cycle: mining-enrichment, physical chemistry of the nuclear fuel, behavior in reactors, selective extraction for fuel reprocessing, storage, environmental impact, and human toxicology. In order to characterize the actinide properties, dedicated synchrotron beam lines are necessary, although scarce. This article focuses on synchrotron studies related to the elaboration of the nuclear fuel, its reprocessing, the storage in glass matrices and the bio-environmental impact.
