Molten chloride salt solutions containing plutonyl (V) and plutonyl (VI) were prepared by reacting dissolved Pu(IH) and (IV) with an O/sub 2/-Cl/sub 2/ gas stream. The spectra of two LiCl- CsCl eutectic solutions containing plutonyl(V) and (VI) are illustrated. The behavior of the plutonyl species under various conditions was studied spectrophotometrically. The ratio of plutonyl(V) to plutonyl(VI) in O/sub 2/-- Cl/sub 2/ sparged solutions was found to vary inversely with the square root of the concentration of Cl/sub 2/ in the sparge gas. (P.C.H.)
