Curio's soup-to-nuts business model- nuclear waste reprocessing, isotope sales, waste disposition, and new reactor design-may be right for our power generation moment ...

That happens when the element emits radiation (such as alpha particles ... Next, the nuclear reaction products were chemically separated by means of the plutonium-uranium extraction (PUREX) process.

On this day in 1940, the element plutonium was first isolated by researchers at the University of California, Berkeley. Here’s a quiz on it.

The transplutonium actinides are highly radioactive and rare, making them difficult to study. To examine their chemical ...

An international team of researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) has developed a new method for analyzing actinides. The method provides unique insights into the electronic ...
