NEUP CINR-24-31494: Thermodynamic Models for Multivalent Actinide Solubility and Speciation as a Function of Temperature and Ionic Strength

This proposed project will quantify the solubility and speciation of Np and Pu under temperatures, ionic strengths, and pH values that are relevant to the generic repository concept. The major deliverable will be full thermodynamic descriptions of the studied systems, which will lead to improved radionuclide transport models and support the development of a sound technical basis for the geologic disposal of spent nuclear fuel and other actinide-bearing wastes.
