5 A few comments about uranium and plutonium elemental structures. [Pg.642]

structural type It is orthorhombic, space group Cmcm, N. 63. [Pg.642]

2 Plutonium. The different crystal forms of Pu are the following (stable at ambient pressure and increasing temperatures). [Pg.643]

The (3Pu-mS34 (monoclinic, space group C2/m, N. 12) has a complex structure too, with the atoms in seven different sites (Wyckoff positions) and CNE ranging froml2, to 13, 14 and 15. [Pg.643]

The yPu-oF8 structure corresponds to the following positions in the orthorhombic face-centred cell [Pg.643]
