RE: Americium dioxide

["Bradshaw, Keith" <Keith.Bradshaw@nnc.co.uk>]

Hi Michael/Radsafers

There's a multi-volume work "Comprehensive Inorganic Chemistry" which has a
whole volume devoted to actinides (vol 5).  Unfortunately I don't have
access to it here and I've forgotten who the editors were.  If you can track
this down, I think it might have the info you desire.  Perhaps other
Radsafers might have this reference hiding on their shelves somewhere and
can give you more details.

Regards

Keith Bradshaw
