Abstract
The chemical properties of radioactive molybdenum dispersed in the environment as a consequence of a nuclear reactor accident depend closely on the reactions taking place in the plume of the reactor or in the confinement building. An oxidizing atmosphere reacting with the aerosols at temperatures of the order of 700 degrees C significantly enhances the solubility of Mo and, as a consequence, its availability to the environment.
