The actinide science program at the University of Notre Dame is an informal program housed within the Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering & Earth Sciences. Although our main focus is on graduate education in actinide chemistry and mineralogy, high school students, undergraduate students, and postdoctoral scholars are also an important part of our program. This presentation will discuss the procedures that we follow which allow minors to work in the lab in addition to highlighting our recently expanded transuranic capabilities and the associated additional procedures we have put in place to ensure that graduate students, postdoctoral scholars, faculty, and staff can work safely while manipulating milligram to gram quantities of neptunium and plutonium.
