Scientists at IFJ PAN discovered significant differences in plutonium isotope accumulation between hemispheres, with unique ...

Researchers may have found a way to create a new superheavy element, known as "element 120," which would be so hefty that it ...

The current idea is to vitrify the plutonium – bake it into a ceramic glass, like material – and bury it 1000 metres below in a geological disposal facility (GDF). However, the UK currently possesses ...

This discovery is highly important for nuclear physics, particularly regarding transuranium elements, those beyond uranium on ...

In 1941, after Glenn Seaborg and his colleagues at the University of California, Berkeley produced element 94, plutonium, Seaborg was promptly recruited to the Manhattan Project—Flerov was right.

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.

The proposed plutonium pit facility at Savannah River Site will reconstruct a massive 500-room partially completely abandoned ...

the first of the trans-fermium elements. But to make it, Seaborg employed the same piece of equipment - the particle accelerator that had been used to chemically identify plutonium after it was ...

Lawrence National Lab has announced that they want to increase the plutonium “Utilization” at their plutonium facility. Plutonium is a highly hazardous, radioactive metal used in the Lab’s nuclear ...
