Synthesis of a triblock polymer system for separation of actinides for nuclear waste remediation

Nuclear power waste contains radioactive isotopes with long half lives and the problem lies in the fact that the lanthanides and actinides must be separated before the nuclear waste can be reprocessed. Transuranic Extraction (TRUEX), a liquid-liquid extraction method, has been developed but fails t...
