Template:Chembox new Gadolinium nitrate is an inorganic compound of gadolinium. It is used as a water-soluble neutron poison in nuclear reactors.[1]
Use
Gadolinium nitrate was used at the Savannah River Site heavy water nuclear reactors and has to be separated from the heavy water for storage or reuse. [2][3] The Canadian CANDU reactor, a pressurized heavy water reactor, also uses Gadolinium nitrate as a water-soluble neutron poison.
Gadolinium nitrate is also used as a raw material in the production of other gadolinium compounds, for production of specialty glasses and ceramics and as a phosphor.
