We describe concentration changes caused by chemical and alpha-induced radiolytic reactions in various oxidation state pure solutions of Pu(VI), Pu(V), or Pu(IV) colloid or mixtures of these oxidation states at pH values > 1 for a period of nearly two years. The rates of approach to steady-states and the resulting experimental concentration quotient values were determined in order to find the conditions under which equilibrium in 2PuO{sub 2}{sup +} + PuO{sub 2}{sup 2+} + PuO/sub 2(coll)/ reaction might be attained and to learn about the underlying reactions. Computer calculations were used to compare the data with the results required from proposed reaction schemes.
