Los Alamos, NM: Los Alamos National Laboratory, 2006. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Trade paperback. iv, 452 pages. Black and White Illustrations. Formula. Diagrams. References. Single Volume/Chapter 7 ONLY. SIGNED BY ALL FOUR AUTHORS ON PAGE "i". Front corner of cover and of several pages creased at bottom. This Los Alamos report is the result of a three year effort by the authors to compile a contemporary treatment of the chemistry of plutonium for publication as Chapter 7 in the third edition of the five volume set, The Chemistry of the Actinide and Transactinide Elements (CATE). As part of this reports the authors have included an abridged discussion of the metallurgy and physicals of plutonium. References to other chapters within this report refer to the larger work of CATE. Siegfried S. Hecker (born October 2, 1943) is an American metallurgist and nuclear scientist. He served as the Director of the Los Alamos National Laboratory from 1986 till 1997. Hecker's achievements have been recognized with the American Nuclear Society's Seaborg Medal and many other awards including the Navy League of the U.S.'s TR & FD Roosevelt Gold Medal for Science Award in 1996. The Secretary of Energy named Hecker, co-recipient of the 2009 Enrico Fermi Award. This Presidential Award is one of the oldest and most prestigious given by the U.S. Government. David L. Clark of the Lost Alamos National Laboratory has been selected as the 2017 recipient of the Glenn T. Seaborg Award for Nuclear Chemistry, sponsored by the American Chemical Society Division of Nuclear Chemistry and Technology. Gordon D. Jarvinen was Associate Director of the G.T. Seaborg Institute at Los Alamos National Laboratory. He received the Glenn T. Seaborg Actinide Separations Award in 2008. Dr. Neu came to Los Alamos in 1993 and worked with Dr. David L. Clark. Neu studied the processes and means that actinides form chemical bonds with other molecules. Condition: Good.
