Actinides

The actinide series remain a rather unknown area within the periodic table. There is plenty of studies that can be done with the actinide elements, however, the radioactivity has truly hindered the process of learning about these elements. Due to their paramount presence in spen…

The chemistry of actinides in solution is a very important aspect of the nuclear fuel cycle, especially as the energy needs of the world continue to increase. However, the radio-active nature of the actinides makes experimentation very difficult and dedicated expensive instrumen…
