  1. I was having a bit of trouble looking back on the nuclear forensics lecture; where did you post it again?

  2. Did not post it yet. I designed the question so most of the information is contained in the question. I will work on posting the lecture. If you have a specific question please let me know.

  7. On question 3, how would a low Np concentration help maintain the pentavalent state? Wouldn't you want to push the equilibrium to the left, and wouldn't a higher Np concentration do that?

  8. higher NpO2+ concentration will drive the disproportionation reaction. If NpO2+ does not encounter another NpO2+ no reaction to from Np4+ and NpO2+2 will occur.
