Cover has slight wear and soiling. Actinide Research Quarterly is a publication of the Stockpile Manufacturing and Support Directorate. The directors of the Seaborg Institute for Transactinium Science serve as the magazine's scientific advisors. The Actinide Research Quarterly reports on research in actinide science in areas such as process chemistry, metallurgy, surface and separation sciences, atomic and molecular sciences, actinide ceramics and nuclear fuels, characterization, spectroscopy, analysis, and manufacturing technologies. This issue includes a lengthy article/appreciation of Bob Penneman (1919-2012) who was a noted Actinide Chemist and Technical Leader. Robert Penneman was an American chemist. Penneman was born in 1919 in Springfield, Illinois. He received a B.S. from Millikan University and an M.S. from the University of Illinois, before he joined the Manhattan Project in 1942 at the Metallurgical Laboratory at the University of Chicago. His first job was to help prepare uranium metal for the world's first nuclear reactor, which was being built under the direction of Enrico Fermi. He then worked directly under future Nobel Laureate Eugene Wigner, making critical measurements of radiation damage on materials ranging widely from ion exchange resins for plutonium separation to carbon moderator blocks in the Hanford production reactors. After World War II, Bob obtained his Ph.D. and joined Los Alamos National Laboratory in 1947. There he spent the remainder of his career, developing and managing what some considered one of the world's premier transuranium chemistry groups. He published well over a hundred peer-reviewed open literature papers and countless technical reports. His last peer-reviewed paper, on the solid state structure of PuO2+x, was published in 2005 in the Journal of Solid State Chemistry when he was 87. He could entertain for hours with wonderful stories about his career, especially from the 1940s and 1950s. Presumed first edition/first printing thus.

Plutonium is a transuranic radioactive chemical element with symbol Pu and atomic number 94. It is an actinide metal of silvery-gray appearance that tarnishes when exposed to air, and forms a dull coating when oxidized. The element normally exhibits six allotropes and four oxidation states. It reacts with carbon, halogens, nitrogen, silicon and hydrogen. When exposed to moist air, it forms oxides and hydrides that can expand the sample up to 70% in volume, which in turn flake off as a powder that is pyrophoric. It is radioactive and can accumulate in bones, which makes the handling of plutonium dangerous. Plutonium was first produced and isolated on December 14, 1940 by Dr. Glenn T. Seaborg, Joseph W. Kennedy, Edwin M. McMillan, and Arthur C. Wahl by deuteron bombardment of uranium-238 in the 60-inch cyclotron at the University of California, Berkeley. They first synthesized neptunium-238 (half-life 2.1 days) which subsequently beta-decayed to form a new heavier element with atomic number 94 and atomic weight 238 (half-life 87.7 years). Uranium had been named after the planet Uranus and neptunium after the planet Neptune, and so element 94 was named after Pluto, which at the time was considered to be a planet as well. Wartime secrecy prevented them from announcing the discovery until 1948. Plutonium is the heaviest element to occur in nature as trace quantities arising similarly from the neutron capture of natural uranium-238. Plutonium is much more common on Earth since 1945 as a product of neutron capture and beta decay, where some of the neutrons released by the fission process convert uranium-238 nuclei into plutonium-239. Both plutonium-239 and plutonium-241 are fissile, meaning that they can sustain a nuclear chain reaction, leading to applications in nuclear weapons and nuclear reactors. Plutonium-240 exhibits a high rate of spontaneous fission, raising the neutron flux of any sample containing it. The presence of plutonium-240 limits a plutonium sample's usability for weapons or its quality as reactor fuel, and the percentage of plutonium-240 determines its grade (weapons-grade, fuel-grade, or reactor-grade). Plutonium-238 has a half-life of 88 years and emits alpha particles. It is a heat source in radioisotope thermoelectric generators, which are used to power some spacecraft. Plutonium isotopes are expensive and inconvenient to separate, so particular isotopes are usually manufactured in specialized reactors. Producing plutonium in useful quantities for the first time was a major part of the Manhattan Project during World War II that developed the first atomic bombs. The Fat Man bombs used in the Trinity nuclear test in July 1945, and in the bombing of Nagasaki in August 1945, had plutonium cores. Human radiation experiments studying plutonium were conducted without informed consent, and several criticality accidents, some lethal, occurred after the war. Disposal of plutonium waste from nuclear power plants and dismantled nuclear weapons built during the Cold War is a nuclear-proliferation and environmental concern. Other sources of plutonium in the environment are fallout from numerous above-ground nuclear tests, now banned.
