Plutonium Futures —The Science 2003



Tutorial Session
 
Current Topics in Plutonium Science
Sponsored by the G. T. Seaborg Institute

Sunday, July 6, 1:00 PM - 4:30 PM
Albuquerque Marriott

 
Background. The “Plutonium Futures – The Science” conference was established to increase awareness of the importance of the scientific underpinnings of plutonium research, and facilitate communication among its international practitioners. Most importantly, we hope that this conference will stimulate the next generation of scientists and students to study the fundamental properties of plutonium and other actinides. To help prepare students, non-specialists, and other interested parties, we have organized a half-day tutorial based on current topics of this conference.
