Technetium-99 (Tc) generated from the fission of 235U and 239Pu in high yields is one of the most difficult contaminants to be addressed at the U.S. Department of Energy Hanford Site. In strongly alkaline solutions typifying Hanford tank waste, Tc exists as pertechnetate (TcO4-) (oxidation state VII) as well as in reduced forms (oxidation state
