Description

The paper presents data on the development of a mathematical model describing the radiation-chemical behaviour of plutonium in 3-6 mol/l HNO3 with uranium present and absent. Using experimental data on the kinetics of Pu(VI) reduction and Pu(IV) oxidation and comparing them with the calculated values, rate constants of many reactions between plutonium ions and HNO3 radiolysis products and between plutonium ions and uranium ions were found for the first time. The mechanism of the radiation-chemical processes was established. (author) 7 refs.; 8 figs.; 1 tab
