Peer reviewedSeaborg, Glenn T. – Journal of Chemical Education, 1985
Discusses the unusual chemistry of the transuranium elements as well as their impact on the periodic table. Also considers the practical applications of transuranium isotopes, such as their use in nuclear fuel for the large-scale generation of electricity. (JN)
