Abstract

The results of the fourth year of observations on the effects of self-irradiation on the lattice of 238(80%)PuO2 confirm the predictions derived from previous observations. Namely, the lattice constant continues to decrease with time but at a slower rate indicating an approach to equilibrium. Very small reductions are also noted in the half-width of the diffraction lines.
