>New chemistry offers alternative plutonium storage process
>Storage of the nation's excess actinide metals, including plutonium and
>uranium, present a myriad of problems from pollution concerns to
>proliferation risk. Solid-state chemists at the Department of Energy's Los
>Alamos National Laboratory have discovered a new reaction process that may
>prove to be a solution to some of the most serious storage problems.
