The Materials Science of Actinides EFRC has three major themes: (1) Complex actinide materials, with complexity arising from chemistry, structure, and properties; (2) Nanoscale control of actinides; and (3) Behavior of actinide materials in extreme environments of pressure, temperature and radiation fields (including coupled effects). This presentation will cover several recent results that span the range of themes in the EFRC, with emphasis on those that are most significant to the challenges of nuclear energy.
