Description

This paper deals with the contaminabilily and the permeability of Pu with varying soiling lime and acidity of the soiling solution applied to pig skin. It was found that the contaminability of Pu was affected by the formation of colloidal substances in soiling solution, as in the case of Pm, Sb, Po and U, described previously. It was also found that 0.05% of the Pu penetrated through the pig skin with pH 1 soiling solution after 60 min. (author)
