Summary

The acquisition of additional data concerning actinide decorporation is planned under the French nuclear and environmental toxicology program.

Citric acid is a fundamental biological constituent found at relatively high concentrations in blood plasma and is involved in many biological processes.

Spectrophotometry was the primary method used to determine the speciation of An(IV)-citrate systems (Th, U, Np, Pu). Complexation phenomena were identified, especially the formation of complexes with 1:1 and 1:2 stoichiometries. The corresponding conditional constants were calculated according to the experimental conditions. Depending on the acid-base form of the ligand (H2Cit, HCit2− or Cit3−) the apparent stability constants were also calculated and compared for various tetravalent actinides.
