Wednesday, July 12

Actinides 2021 will be hosted by Florida state university.

ACTINIDES2017 conference is dedicated to provide a platform for discussion and information exchange on current research in the science and technology of actinide and transactinide elements.

The Actinides conference series initiated in Baden-Baden, Germany (1975), and followed by meetings at Asilomar, CA, USA (1981), Aix-en-Provence, France (1985), Tashkent, USSR (1989), Santa Fe, NM, USA (1993), Baden-Baden, Germany (1997), Hayama, Japan (2001), Manchester, UK (2005), San Francisco, CA, USA (2009) and Karlsruhe, Germany (2013).

The conference aims to understand fundamental aspects of actinide and related materials. Since early 1940's these elements have attracted interests because of their surprisingly rich variety of scientific behaviors. In recent years, the continuous discovery of new compounds and new phenomena have been motivating scientists and engineers for further investigations and providing new insights in material science and technology. On the other hand, the earthquake in 2011 followed by the nuclear power plant accident had serious impact not only on people's life here but also on the atomic energy industry and scientific activities. It is therefore natural to focus also on these issues in the conference held in Japan.

The Actinides 2017 conference in Sendai will be devoted to fruitful discussion and exchange of ideas in actinide science and technology. Emphasis will also be put on encouraging more scientists and engineers from wide range of research fields to join the investigation of actinides, the most complicated elements.

Actinides 2017 conference will cover various aspects of science and technology of actinides. In general, actinides themselves are many-body systems containing 90 or more electrons. The large nuclear charge leads to relativistic effects which influence electronic properties including spin-orbit coupling, peculiar chemical bonding characteristics and resulting novel phenomena emerging in actinides and their compounds are discovered. In addition, they are the most important elements in atomic energy science and technology. The characteristics of advanced fuels and subsequent decommissioning topics are also discussed. In this context, Actinides 2017 will provide paradigm to discuss new insights and discoveries made in recent years. The topics covered will be as follow.

• Chemistry
• Physics
• Spectroscopy
• Separation and Reprocessing
• Fuels
• Materials Science
• Decommissioning
• Environmental science
• Nuclear Forensic
• Superheavy Elements
• Nuclear Medicine
• Applications

The conference will consist of presentations of new scientific results in plenary lectures, invited and contributing talks and in poster presentations. The ACTINIDES 2017 Conference will also be offering an excellent opportunity for interactions among participants, particularly young researchers.
