Zircon: Host Form for Actinide Radioisotopes Disposal

The theory and simulation of systems that have realistic complexity and size and evolve across massive time scales are a critical challenge predicated upon the accurate description of many-body interactions. It builds upon the science of the small to create a new “Middle Science” whose research vision integrates modern math and data science with chemical theories that will be discussed in this seminar.

Traveling wave structures for lossless ion manipulations (TW-SLIM) is a recently developed technique for the separation of gas-phase ions. Constructed of affordable and highly customizable printed circuit boards, TW-SLIM offers a unique degree of customizability and has already seen extensive growth and evolution in its lifetime.

Actinides, including uranium, are of unparalleled societal importance. They are the fuels of nuclear reactors and nuclear weapons, are essential for production of many medical isotopes, and are serious environmental contaminants at numerous sites associated with the nuclear fuel cycle or nuclear weapons production.
