Abstract: Systems and methods used to illuminate samples are disclosed. An illumination system includes a stage to support a sample thereon, a first electromagnetic (EM) radiation source to provide first EM radiation, a second EM radiation source to provide second EM radiation, and optical equipment to combine at least a portion of the first EM radiation with at least a portion of the second EM radiation to provide combined EM radiation to the stage to illuminate the sample. A method of illuminating a sample includes illuminating a first input of a dichroic beam splitter with white light from a white light emitting diode (LED), illuminating a second input of the dichroic beam splitter with ultraviolet (UV) light from a UV LED, and directing combined light from an output of the dichroic beam splitter toward the sample.

Abstract: This disclosure sets forth a method for processing metal waste incorporating substantial zirconium as exemplified by nuclear fuel rods which include enriched uranium and other nuclear products. This process contemplates conversion of the zirconium and other constituents into oxides by mixing with an acid, subsequently forming a solution or a gel which is either dried or frozen, thereby yielding a green shaped body. The green body is thereafter sintered to form a dimensionally and structurally stable monolith for disposal.
