Prof. Michio Aoyama (Institute of Environmental Radioactivity, Fukushima University)12/05/2014, 08:30Radionuclides in the Environment, RadioecologyPlenaryRadioactive materials were released to the environment from the Tokyo Electric Power Company Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant (FNPP1) as a result of reactor accidents caused by a total loss of electric power (black out) after the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami on 11 March 2011. Radioactive materials were emitted into the atmosphere and transferred to the land and ocean through wet and dry...Go to contribution page

Prof. Andreas Türler (Paul Scherrer Institute and Bern University)12/05/2014, 09:30Chemistry of Actinide and Trans-actinide ElementsPlenaryWith the discovery of six new elements in the past decade an extraordinary expansion of the Periodic Table took place, so that now all elements of the 7th period have been synthesized. This success was possible by exploiting the concept of “warm” fusion using the available, neutron-rich actinide target materials and the tightly bound, doubly magic projectile 48-Ca [1]. Most of these discovery...Go to contribution page
