Migration of plutonium

Rain in equilibrium with atmospheric C02, but uncontaminated by industrial emissions, should have a pH of 5.7. However, atmospheric pollution from burning fossil fuels has resulted in acid rain of pH as low as 3.5 (24). If this condition continues for a long time, it may lead to a change in groundwater composition, which may considerably change the migration of plutonium in nature.

Migration of Plutonium into Dense Stone Samples. Thin wafers or disks of dense Illinois Niagara limestone and basalt from the EBR-II site were fabricated. The dimensions were approximately 25 mm 1n diameter and 1.5 mm 1n thickness. The wafers were waxed into the high pressure chromatographic apparatus as shown in Fig. 2.
