Publication Venue:
The Proceedings of Actinides 2009 will be published electronically in the IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering.
(see Actinides 2009 Proceedings sidebar)

The Actinides 2009 conference will feature current discussions on research in the physics and chemistry of the actinides and the transactinide elements. Specific topics will include fundamental materials science, chemistry, physics, environmental science, and nuclear fuels. Of particular importance will be a focus on the key roles basic actinide chemistry and physics research play in advancing the worldwide renaissance of nuclear energy. Actinides 2009 will provide a forum spanning this diverse range of scientific topics. The conference will consist of plenary lectures, invited presentations, and contributed presentations in both oral and poster formats.

Significant financial support provided by the Physical and Life Sciences Directorate and the WCI Directorate, both of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.
