| Abstract: | Summary Literature data on the radiolytic generation of hydrogen in nitric acid solutions of plutonium are used to construct a model
that predicts G(H2) as a function of the nitric acid and plutonium concentrations. The model indicates that G(H2) decreases with increasing concentration of nitric acid, in agreement with most experimental observations. The effect of
the plutonium concentration on G(H2) is secondary to the effect of the acid concentration. An equation for interpolating Gvalues for total gas is included. |
