SUMMARY:NE Seminar: "Nuclear Waste Science: Understanding Actinides and Fis
 sion Chemistry"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nThis presentation will give an overview of actinides 
 and fission products projects related to the back end of the nuclear fuel 
 cycle and\, specifically\, the challenges related to actinide chemistry in
  waste tanks and the interface redox phenomena of technetium-99 and radioi
 odine migration in the environment upon accidental release.\nWe will discu
 ss the development of analytical tools for accurate radionuclide speciatio
 n at trace levels using tandem chromatographic and plasma spectroscopy tec
 hniques and our National Nuclear Security Agency (NNSA) project related to
  the synthesis and characterization of surrogate nuclear explosion debris 
 (SNED) and their long-term stability in the environment.\nBio\nVasileios A
 nagnostopoulos\, Ph.D.\nAssociate Professor\nUniversity of Central Florida
 \nDr. Vasileios Anagnostopoulos received his B.Sc. in Chemistry\, M.Sc. i
 n Analytical Chemistry (Environmental Track)\, and Ph.D. in Radiochemistry
  in 2010 and 2012\, respectively\, from the University of Patras (Greece).
  He conducted his postdoctoral studies at Florida International Universit
 y in Miami on actinide environmental radiochemistry\, funded by DOE – Of
 fice of Environmental Management.\nHe is currently an Associate Professor 
 at the Department of Chemistry at the University of Central Florida\, wher
 e he leads the Radiochemistry program and serves as Director of Nuclear Re
 gulatory Commission Fellowships at UCF. He is leading the surrogate nuclea
 r explosion debris project in the Consortium for Nuclear Forensics (CNF) i
 n close collaboration with PNNL and LLNL. His research portfolio also incl
 udes projects funded by the DOE-EM\, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commissio
 n\, the Department of Defense\, and the Department of Homeland Security.
