Abstract
In the context of nuclear transmutation of minor actinides the compound (U 0.5Am 0.5)O 2− x was studied by X-ray diffraction, oxygen potential measurement, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and magnetic measurements. According to these results the compound in question should rather be formulated as americium uranate AmUO 4− y , since Am proved to be in the trivalent oxidation state and not as expected by analogy with (U 0.5Pu 0.5)O 2− x with Pu being tetravalent, whereas uranium turned out to be tetra- and pentavalent.
