Description: 
RESULTSThis contribution will show first results of plutonium oxide nanoparticle studies at the large-scale facility–The European Synchrotron (ESRF) by X-ray spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction methods. Pu oxide nanoparticles were prepared by rapid chemical precipitation using precursors in the different oxidation states (Pu (III), Pu (IV), Pu (V) and Pu (VI)). These precursors were obtained by chemical reduction or oxidation of Pu stock solution. The obtained nanoparticles were characterized at the Rossendorf Beamline (ROBL) at the ESRF, dedicated to actinide science. The recently upgraded ROBL beamline provides unique opportunities to study actinide materials by several experimental techniques: high energy resolution fluorescence detection (HERFD)[5], X-ray emission spectroscopy (XES), resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS)[6], extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction (XRD) simultaneously.
