The thermal conductivity of α-plutonium has been measured over the range 3–100 K. For the highest purity material (∼50 ppm metallic impurities) a small peak in the conductivity is seen at ∼10 K, followed by a shallow minimum at 40 K. The maximum measured conductivity is 34.3 mW/K cm at 100 K. A decrease in conductivity occurs at low temperatures as a result of radioactive self-damage, which saturates with an exponential dependence. It is shown that most of the heat conduction is by phonons, electronic thermal conduction being small but rising with temperature.
