Research Interests

Basic chemistry of actinides and fission product (FP) elements is important for achieving a safe chemical processing of spent nuclear fuels and radioactive wastes. The objective of our research is to study the chemical characteristics and specific behavior of actinides and FPs under the condition of various systems, such as aqueous solution, hydrate melt, molten salt, liquid metal, as well as in environmental systems. For these studies, analytical methods applying spectroscopy, chromatography, mass spectrometry, and radiochemical techniques are adopted.
Researches are conducted on the following scientific subjects with respect to rare metals, rare earths, and actinides.
1. Coordination properties of the elements in electrolyte solutions
2. Separation characteristics of the elements between two phases
3. Isotope chemistry of the elements under global environments
