  • Descrição: The process of decomposition of the oxalates of tri-, tetra-, and hexavalent plutonium on standing in air and in vacuum at room temperature and at −80° has been investigated, both in the light and in the dark. It has been established that the decomposition occurs under the action of plutonium a radiation, but in the case of tetra- and hexavalent plutonium oxalates the carbon monoxide formed acts as a reducer and causes the transition of the tetravalent plutonium to the trivalent and of the hexavalent to the tetravalent. In these two cases the oxalates are transformed into carbonates and, apparently, in part into oxides or into oxyoxalate-carbonate mixtures.
