Molecular Complex Could Sequester Plutonium

Anne
Gorden, the Glenn Seaborg Postdoctoral
Fellow with the Lab's Chemical Sciences Division,
was a key member of a Berkeley Lab team who used
the exceptionally bright and intense x-ray beams
of the Advanced Light Source to determine the
crystal structure of a molecular complex that
has shown promise as a sequestering agent for
plutonium and other actinides. With the added
threat of "dirty bomb" terrorist weapons, the
development of chemical agents that can safely
remove radioactive substances from the human body
has become a priority. Crystallography at synchrotrons
like the ALS should greatly speed up this process.
