Retention of plutonium (VI) on Los Alamos tuff
Description
It would appear that the oxidation state of plutonium has a marked effect on its absorption by rock as well as on its subsequent removal by ground water. This is of particular importance in deep disposal schemes if it is proposed to allow for possible catastrophic intrusion of water. The results obtained in the experiments described above suggest that precautions be taken to ensure that the plutonium is in the (IV) state by use of appropriate reducing agents or incorporation in reducing matrices
