Abstract

AbstractSmall polished blocks of granite, diorite and dolerite were immersed in solutions containing uranium and plutonium at equal initial concentration. The samples were analysed by the advanced surface analytical techniques of secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) and nuclear microprobe analysis. The results show that both actinides sorb onto the same minerals in the three rocks. However, SIMS data show that significantly more uranium was sorbed than plutonium.
