Abstract A new method is developed to calculate the dilution ratio N of the two reactant solutions during nucleation rate determination. When the initial apparent supersaturation ratio S N  = f(N) in the dilution tank is controlled between 1.66 and 1.67, the counted nuclei is the most, both nuclei dissolving and secondary nucleation avoided satisfactorily. Based on this methoed, Plutonium(IV) oxalate is precipitated by mixing equal volumes of tetravalent plutonium nitrate and oxalic acid solutions. Experiments are carried out by varying the supersaturation ratio from 8.37 to 22.47 and temperature from 25 to 50 °C. The experimental results show that the nucleation rate of plutonium(IV) oxalate in the supersaturation range cited above can be expressed by the equation R N  = A N exp(−E a /RT)exp[−B/(ln S)2], where A N  = 4.8 × 1023 m−3 s−1 , and E a  = 36.2 kJ mol−1, and B = 20.2. The crystal growth rate of plutonium(IV) oxalate is determined by adding seed crystals into a batch crystallizer. The crystal growth rate can be expressed by equation G(t) = k g exp(−E’ a /RT) (c − c eq) g , where k g  = 7.3 × 10−7 (mol/L)−1.1(m/s), E’ a  = 25.7 kJ mol−1, and g = 1.1.
