Abstract

In order to enhance the understanding of redox reactions of plutonium ions in molten NaCl-CsCl eutectic, absorption spectrophotometry was performed for Pu3+, Pu4+, and PuO22+ in molten NaCl-CsCl at 923 K by controlling the flow-rate ratio of Cl2 and Ar or O2 in the ventilating mixture gas. Based upon the relations of the measured rest potentials to the concentration ratios of [Pu4+]/[Pu3+] and [PuO22+]/[Pu4+], the redox potentials of Pu4+/Pu3+ and PuO22+/Pu4+ couples in molten NaCl-CsCl eutectic at 923 K were estimated.
