Plutonium disproportionation: Pitzer parameters or precipitates?

Abstract

The behavior of dissolved pentavalent plutonium in the presence of hydrous plutonium oxides has recently been described in terms of Pitzer parameters. The observations can be explained by a conventional approach. The alternative perspective does not use the irreversible oxygen/water couple and it is easier to understand than virial expansions and Pitzer coefficients.
