Different methods of stabilizing plutonium hexafluoride using trifluoromethylperfluorocyclohexane and high-valence inorganic fluorides whose physical and chemical properties differ very little from those of plutonium hexafluoride are examined. The interaction of plutonium tetrafluoride with solid krypton difluoride is studied and the kinetic regularities of this process are investigated.
