Environmental Mineralogy and Actinide Crystallography

The mineralogy and crystal chemistry of uranium is understood reasonably well, whereas that of neptunium is almost completely unknown. The projects will focus on exploring the crystal chemistry of neptunium, and its relationships with uranium. Applications of the research will be a better understanding of the impact on actinide transport of co-precipitation of neptunium in uranium phases. This research will also be a foundation for development of an understanding of the solution chemistry of neptunium under environmental conditions. Peter C. Burns.
