Although these three elements are produced in relatively small quantities in 57375ssion reactors they are major contributors to the decay heat neutron output and radiotoxicity of spent nuclear fuel If spent nuclear fuel is reprocessed conventionally General Information Categories Trans-Uranium Actinides Period: IUPAC group: 3 Discovered in: 1955 Ghiorso et. al. Origin of name: Dmitri Mendeleev, inventor of periodic table Historical or alternate n Today only a small fraction of the energy in nuclear fuel is used. The spent fuel also has to be stored for about 100 000 years to be considered safe. The extremely long storage time is mainly due to the high radiotoxicity of the actinides. If, however, these long lived actinides could be separated from the spent fuel and transmuted, the energy efficiency would increase. In . Panel 5 – Energy Savings & Innovation at the Port.

The Oklo Phenomenon. Initial Problem: 1972. A worker notices that the isotopic composition of mined uranium from the Oklo site is missing Uranium 235. Initial Problem: 1972. The collection of uranium is regulated to ensure that it is not being siphoned off into weapons programs. This lead to further investigations of the missing mass.. The Oklo Phenomenon.
