DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Vittorio Luca (Comisión Nacional de Energía Atómi
 ca)\nThe nuclear industry generates a wide variety of radioactive waste st
 reams during reactor operations and maintenance and in virtually all parts
  of the fuel cycle. In order to improve the sustainability of the industry
  it is necessary to develop improved methods and processes for treating\, 
 conditioning and disposing of this waste. The talk will provide an overvie
 w of research being conducted at the Comisión Nacional de Energía Atómi
 ca emphasizing the development of novel solid-extractants with the ability
  to selectively extract radionuclides from complex solutions and with comp
 ositions that facilitate end-of-life management by being able to be conver
 ted to extremely stable ceramics. Topics to be covered will include 1) a p
 roposed process for the conversion of spent polymeric ion exchange resins 
 to stable pyropolymer and carbon materials and their subsequent immobiliza
 tion\, 2) synthesis of coordination polymers suitable for the selective ex
 traction of radiolanthanides and their subsequent immobilization\, 3) pote
 ntial new targets for a cleaner production of Mo-99 and 4) the use of phen
 olic resins as matrices for spent organic and inorganic ion exchange media
