We present the results of x-ray and ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy of NpPd(3) and PuPd(3). The spectra indicate that for both compounds, the 5f electrons are well localized on the actinide sites. Comparison with bulk measurements indicates that for NpPd(3) the electrons have a valence of Np(3+) and thus a ground state 5f(4) with a Hund's rules (5)I(4) configuration. Similarly for PuPd(3), we find a Pu(3+) valence, 5f(5) ground state and a Hund's rules (6)H(5/2) configuration.
