The Effect on the Pu(IV) Oxidation State in Aqueous Suspensions of UO_2, ThO_2, TIO_2 and MNo_2

摘要

The behavior of plutonium with regard to redox and chemical properties is of interest because of (amongst other issues) the presence of plutonium in spent nuclear fuel. If placed in a deep geological repository, the consequences of leakage need to be properly assessed. This includes investigations of the sorption behavior of dissolved waste constituents, such as plutonium.
