Description

Characterization data for particulates formed under a variety of laboratory leaching conditions that simulate repository-relevant conditions are presented. Data on the particle size distributions and filterable fractions for neptunium, plutonium, and americium were obtained by filtration through a series of filters with pore sizes ranging from 1 μm to 2.8 μm. The neptunium was found to be largely nonfilterable. Americium and plutonium were associated with filterable particles. The particles with which the americium and plutonium were associated were characterized using autoradiography and TEM examination techniques
