Résumé
Over 80 heat treatment experiments have been made on samples of chloride-contaminated plutonium dioxide retrieved from two packages in storage at Sellafield. These packages dated from 1974 and 1980 and were produced in a batch process by conversion of plutonium oxalate in a furnace at around 550 °C. The storage package contained a poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) bag between the screw top inner and outer metal cans. Degradation of the PVC has led to adsorption of hydrogen chloride together with other atmospheric gases onto the PuO
