| Abstract |
A method is given for the calculation of the penetration of 241Am beneath the surface of polymers in the presence of large amounts of 239Pu. An increase in acidity of the suspension solution promotes penetration, while the amount of Am absorbed considerably decreases. Since americium penetrates polymers much more slowly than plutonium, the penetrability of the polymer by plutonium should also be taken into consideration where both are present. The surface adsorption and penetration coefficients obtained for americium on polymers are useful as selection criteria for materials used in protective equipement. |
