The papers included in this volume were presented at the symposium on "Americium and Curium Chemistry and Technology" at the International Chemical Congress of Pacific Basin Societies in Honolulu, Hawaii, December 16-21, 1984. This symposium commemorated forty years of research on americium and curium. Accordingly, the papers included in this volume begin with historical perspectives on the discovery of americium and curium and the early characterization of their chemical properties, and then cover a wide range of subjects, such as thermodynamic properties, electronic structure, nuclear...

The 11 papers describe several processes for separating nuclear waste into a small volume of highly radioactive material to be buried very deep and a large volume of less radioactive material to be buried in cheaper, shallower facilities. Some inventory the amount and type of nuclear waste currently
