ELECTROCHEMISTRY OF ACTINIDES IN MOLTEN-SALTS

The electrochemical fundamental research concerning the actinides is reviewed. The methods employed in the investigation of molten salts, e. m. f. measurements, chronopotentiometry, voltammetry, together with their practical modifications for high-temperature work, are discussed. The electrochemical properties of Th(II), Th(IV), U(III), U(IV), UO//2(VI), Np(III), Np(IV), NpO//2(V), NpO//2(VI), NpO//5(VII), Pu(III), Pu(IV) and PuO//5(VII) have been classified.
