Nuclear Reactor Chemistry

Chapter 15 with topic 15.6 writes about Chemistry of the Transuranium Elements, which leads to the Nobel Prize.

Fig 15.9 posted a picture of Glenn Seaborg pointing at Seaborgium in the periodic table, symbol Sg, weight 106, compares to Hydrogen, symbol H, weight 1.

'Rutherford backscattering' caught my attention because I was talking to someone with the Ruth. last name.

Table 15.4 listed all events leading to Large Injections of Radionuclides into the Atmosphere starting with the event in Japan during year 1945.

Yet the book has not been updated with the most recent incident in Japan as well.  The last event covered was year 1985 in USSR Chernobyl.

Well the term 'radioactive' seems to carry a better connotation than 'viral', which also comes to mind right now.

Let me head to the exit as time flies.
