Talk

Protactinium, as a $^{235}$U decay product, is naturally present in the environment as $^{231}$Pa isotope (alpha emitter with a half-life of 32,400 years). Over the years, this isotope is accumulated in uranium tailings and stocks of yellow cake. Modelling the behavior of this element in the geosphere requires thermodynamic and structural data relevant to environmental conditions. The present...
