氢化钚与空气反应的热力学平衡计算

氢化钚与空气系统中有6个独立组分,即PuH2.7(s)、PuN(s )、Pu2O3(s)、N2(g)、O2(g)和H2(g)及4个元素,故有2 个独立反应。这两个反应的ΔG°<<0,计算表明：气相和固相质量衡算基本趋于平衡 ,与文献［6］实验结果相符。因而,氢化钚与空气反应极快。这对于钚材料的贮存有一定 参考意义。

Environmental behavior of actinides

Since the plutonium concentration in ocean waters is quite low, most of the plutonium deposited in marine waters has been sorbed onto plants and sediments. Actinides in natural waters usually are not in a state of thermodynamic equilibrium for long time periods as their solubility and migration behavior is strongly related to the form in which the nuclides are introduced initially into the aquatic system for long time periods. Their solubility depends on pH (hydrolysis), E _H (oxidation state), reaction with complexants (e.g., carbonate, phosphate, humic acid, etc.), sorption to surfaces of minerals and/or colloids, etc. The primary variable is the oxidation state of the actinide cation. Actinides can be present in more than one oxidation state which complicates modeling actinide environmental behavior. Np(V)O ₂ ⁺ and Pu(V)O ₂ ⁺ are weakly complexing and resistant to hydrolysis and subsequent precipitation, but both can undergo reduction to the IV oxidation state. The solubility of NpO ₂ ⁺ can be as high as 10⁻⁴M, while that of PuO ₂ ⁺ is more limited as the very low solubility of Pu(OH)₄ promotes reduction to Pu(IV). The solubility of hexavalent UO ₂ ²⁺ in sea water is limited by hydrolysis, but has a relatively high concentration due to carbonate complexation. Americium(III) hydroxocarbonate, Am(CO₃)(OH), is the limiting species for the solubility of Am(III) in sea water. Thorium has a very low solubility due to the formation of Th(OH)₄.     

Rapid methods for the determination of long-lived radionuclides in environmental samples by ICP-SFMS and radioanalytical techniques

Two improved sample preparation methods for the determination of americium and plutonium (Method 1) and plutonium (Method 2) from environmental samples by inductively coupled plasma sector field mass spectrometry (ICP-SFMS) and alpha spectrometry are presented. Both procedures involve a rapid CaF₂ co-precipitation step for pre-concentration and matrix removal followed by extraction chromatographic separations. The average recovery after sample preparation was better than 85 % for both americium and plutonium. The method developed also focused on the elimination of possible interferences in the mass spectrometric analysis caused by molecular ions (e.g. ²⁰⁸Pb¹⁶O ₂ ⁺ or ²³⁸U¹H⁺) by employing suitable matrix separation prior to ICP-SFMS analysis of the desolvated sample. Isotopes with alpha energies similar to the analytes that may cause interferences in alpha spectrometric analysis were also separated. For ²³⁹Pu, ²⁴⁰Pu, ²⁴¹Pu and ²⁴¹Am detection limits of 15, 9.2, 14 and 23 fg g⁻¹, respectively were achieved by ICP-SFMS, and 0.1 mBq obtained by alpha spectrometry. The methods developed are especially applicable for monitoring purposes of anthropogenic transuranium elements, as the analysis (sample preparation and ICP-SFMS measurement) can be carried out within 6 hours for one batch of samples.     

Symmetry and stability of plutonium: the influence of electronic structure

Using first-principles density-functional theory, we calculate the bond strengths between the 12 nearest neighbors in delta plutonium for both pure Pu and a Pu-3.7 at. % Ga alloy. Our results for pure Pu reveal a structure with the monoclinic space group Cm rather than face-centered cubic Fm3m, showing that the anomalously large anisotropy of delta plutonium is a consequence of greatly varying bond strengths between the 12 nearest neighbors. Further results for a Pu-3.7 at. % Ga alloy show that the nearest-neighbor bond strengths around a Ga atom are more uniform. Hence, our calculations address (i) why the ground state of Pu is monoclinic, (ii) why distortions of the delta phase are viable, with considerable implications for the behavior of the material as it ages due to anisotropic response to self-irradiation, and (iii) why Ga stabilizes face-centered cubic delta-Pu.     

Redox state of plutonium in irradiated mixed oxide fuels

Nowadays, MOX fuels are used in about 20 nuclear power plants around the world. After irradiation, plutonium co-exists with uranium oxide. Due to the redox sensitive nature of UO₂ other plutonium oxides than PuO₂ potentially present in the fuel may interact with the matrix. The aim of this study is to determine which plutonium species are present in heterogeneous and homogeneous MOX. The results provided by X-ray Absorption Near Edge Spectroscopy (XANES) for non-irradiated as well as irradiated (center and periphery) homogeneous MOX fuel were published earlier and are completed by Extended X-ray Fine Structure (EXAFS) analysis in this work. The EXAFS signals have been extracted using the Athena code and the analyses were carried using Excure98 as performed earlier for an analogous element. EXAFS shows that plutonium redox state remains tetravalent in the solid solution and that the minor fraction of trivalent Pu must be below 10%. Independently, the study of homogeneous MOX was also approached by thermodynamics of solid solution of (U,Pu)O₂. Such solid solutions were modeled using the Gibbs Energy Minimisation (GEM)-Selektor code (developed at LES, NES, PSI) supported by the literature data on such solid solutions. A comparative study was performed showing which plutonium oxides in their respective mole fractions are more likely to occur in (U,Pu)O₂. In the modeling, these oxides were set as ideal and non-ideal solid solutions, as well as separate pure phases. Pu exists mainly as PuO₂ in the case of separate phases, but can exist under its reduced forms, PuO_1.61 and PuO_1.5 in minor fraction i.e. ~15% in ideal solid solution (unlikely) and ~10% in non-ideal solid solution (likely) and at temperature around 1300 K. This combined thermodynamic and EXAFS studies confirm independently the results obtained so far by Pu XANES for the same MOX samples.
