This paper reports on the characterization of MO2-RE2O3 solid solutions (M = Zr or Hf, RE = Eu or Sm) that are expected to have longer lifetimes and improved accident tolerance compared to conventional neutron absorbing materials, with a special focus on materials manufactured by a slip-casting method.
