Title: Mobile species of Pu, Np, Cm, Am and Tc in the environment

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6319810

This paper will describe field and laboratory findings on the nature of soluble species of plutonium, neptunium, curium, americium, and technetium and demonstrate the importance of oxidation state and complexing ligands on migration potential. Both of these geochemically-influenced variables are difficult to incorporate into models, yet significantly influence actual migration if it occurs.
