Autooxidation of Np(IV) in nitric acid solutions

OSTI ID:133089

Autooxidation of Np(IV) in 4 and 6 M HNO{sub 3}, induced by self-{alpha}-radiation, has been experimentally studies and simulated. Neptunium (IV) is oxidized mainly via reaction with Np(VI). Rate constants for the reactions Np(IV) + Np(VI) and Np(V) + Np(V) were determined by comparing experimental and calculated current and equilibrium concentrations of Np(IV) and Np(V).
