    Abstract

    The steady-state concentration of Pu was measured upon leaching Pu doped glass in synthetic interstitial claywater (SIC) and humic acid free interstitial solution (IS). The solubility of PuO2. xH2O(am) was determined in the same chemical condition. The results then were compared with the Pu solubility calculated by using a published solubility product and complex stability constants. The humic acid (HA) influence on the Pu leaching from the glass and the colloid formation were investigated.
