The row of 15 chemical elements from Ac to Lr with atomic numbers from 89 to 103 are
known as the actinides, which are all radioactive. Among them, uranium and plutonium are …

Due to the increased attention given to actinide nanomaterials, the question of their structure–
property relationship is on the spotlight of recent publications. Plutonium oxide (PuO2) …

The nanoscience field often produces results more mystifying than any other discipline. It
has been argued that changes in the plutonium dioxide (PuO2) particle size from bulk to …

Manganese oxides show strong affinity towards uranium, and have a promising application
in uranium immobilization in environmental protection. We successfully synthesized a series …

In this paper, we consider the present-day situation and outlooks of the development of
nuclear power generation in Russia and other countries. It was noted that the …

We report the structural properties of ultra-small ThO2 and UO2 nanoparticles (NPs), which
were synthesized without strong binding surface ligands by employing a covalent organic …

KPuO2CO3 solid phase precipitation from hexavalent plutonium (Pu (VI)) solution is
discussed herein. The kinetic process of Pu (V)/potassium carbonate formation is widely …

Pu (IV) and Pu (V) sorption to goethite was investigated over a concentration range of 10–15–
10–5 M at pH 8. Experiments with initial Pu concentrations of 10–15–10–8 M produced …

Particles containing alpha (α) nuclides were identified from sediment in stagnant water in the
Unit 3 reactor building of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station (FDiNPS). We …
