Color Center Formation in Plutonium Electrorefining Residues

Radiolysis of Salts and Long-Term Storage Issues for Both Pure and Impure PuO{sub 2} Materials in Plutonium Storage Containers

“…One of the rare studies involved radiation damage to electrorefinined residues that contain Pu(III) in KCl, where plutonium is actually incorporated within the salt matrix involved (Morris et al 1989). The plutonium had similar isotopic composition as the PuO 2 intended for storage in plutonium storage containers.…”
