  2. Plutonium in the environment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plutonium_in_the_environment

    PuO 2 (CO 3) 1 2−; PuO 2 (CO 3) 2 4−; PuO 2 (CO 3) 3 6−; PuO 2 formed from neutralizing highly acidic nitric acid solutions tends to form polymeric PuO 2 which is resistant to complexation. Plutonium also readily shifts valences between the +3, +4, +5 and +6 states. It is common for some fraction of plutonium in solution to exist in all ...

    The fuel particles of the urania-zirconia-yttria mixture (known as "horseradish") were mostly from 0.5 to 1 micrometer (2.0 × 10 −5 to 3.9 × 10 −5 in) in size, although some were smaller or larger. [14] The uranium was in the form of oralloy: uranium enriched to 93.2 percent uranium-235. [15]

    The models also serve to assist in the design of effective control strategies to reduce emissions of harmful air pollutants. During the late 1960s, the Air Pollution Control Office of the U.S. EPA initiated research projects that would lead to the development of models for the use by urban and transportation planners. [1]

    The Environmental Protection Act of 1990 established the system of Integrated Pollution Control(IPC). Currently [ when? ] the clean up of historic contamination is controlled under a specific statutory scheme found in Part IIA of the Environmental Protection Act 1996 (Part IIA), as inserted by the Environment Act 1995, and other ‘rules ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polluter_pays_principle

    This principle has also been used to put the costs of pollution prevention on the polluter. [1] It is regarded as a regional custom because of the strong support it has received in most Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and European Union countries, [2] and has a strong scientific basis in economics. It is a ...

    Pluto Energetic Particle Spectrometer Science Investigation (PEPSSI), is an instrument on the New Horizons space probe to Pluto and beyond, it is designed to measure ions and electrons. [1] Specifically, it is focused on measuring ions escaping from the atmosphere of Pluto during the 2015 flyby . [ 2 ]
