The role of thermal and photochemical reactions upon the remobilisation of Pu from an Irish Sea sediment

Laboratory experiments were carried out to assess the influence of temperature and photochemical reactions upon the dissolution of 239+240Pu and 241Am from an Irish Sea sediment in seawater. Supplementary information was obtained from experiments to evaluate the rate and extent of 239Np tracer desor...

Zusammenfassung:Laboratory experiments were carried out to assess the influence of temperature and photochemical reactions upon the dissolution of 239+240Pu and 241Am from an Irish Sea sediment in seawater. Supplementary information was obtained from experiments to evaluate the rate and extent of 239Np tracer desorption, and 238Pu(V) tracer uptake. A steady state distribution of 241Am and 239+240Pu(IV) species between dissolved and particulate phases was rapidly attained (
