Rates of exchange of plutonyl oxygen and H/sub 2O/sup 18/ were measured in perchloric acid solutions at 23 and 83 deg C. It was found that the intrinsic exchange reaction is slow, t/sub 1/2/ > 10/sup 4/ hr. Since the exchange reaction is accelerated in the presence of lower oxidation states of Pu, chlorine was used in exchange runs to maintain the Pu in the plutonyl condition. The longer half times associated with lower plutonyl ion concentrations in the exchange solutions are interpreted in terms of a radioinduced exchange process. (auth)
