Abstract
A chronopotentiometric study of the reaction Am(III) + 3e → Am(O) in molten LiCl-KCL is reported. The diffusion coefficient DAm(III) increases from 3.5 to 26.0 10−6 cm2 sec−1 when the temperature was raised from 400 to 650°C. The mechanism of the diffusion is discussed on the base of the hole theory for molten salts.
