Abstract
A study was conducted to investigate actinide colloids and particles of environmental concern. Sources of actinide particles in the environment other than nuclear explosions and nuclear power plant accidents were naturally occurring radioactive matter or particle contaminants released from other military activities related to nuclear power production and from minor occurrences, such as nuclear powered satellites. These particles containing actinide element contaminants were found in the environment in a wide variety of forms or morphologies and compositions, exhibiting varying chemistries and stabilities. The morphology, elemental, and isotopic composition of actinide particles were obtained by a variety of experimental techniques, such as electron microscopy, mass spectrometry (MS), and some other techniques.
