Radiolysis of water adsorbed on PuO2 surface has been the subject of several studies but still remains poorly understood. The present study brings new experimental results helping to further understand the phenomena occurring at PuO2 surface. Radiolysis of adsorbed water on PuO2 surface leads to the...
