Relative to the other elements on the periodic table, the actinides — found at the bottom of the table — are little-understood. And it’s no wonder: That series, which includes well-known elements such ...

The accumulation of radioactive wastes began in the 1940s with the development of the atomic bomb and continued with the large-scale production of fissile materials such as uranium and plutonium ...

Understanding actinide chemistry is critical for developing approaches for nuclear waste treatment as well as for illuminating the role of f orbitals in bonding and reactivity. A pair of studies ...

There are about 15 radioactiveelements in the earth’s crust — promethium, polonium, astatine,radon, francium, radium, actinum, proactinum, uranium. All elements afterbismuth (atomic number 83) are ...
