UREX+ A solvent extraction process for separating the components of used nuclear fuel so that the unreacted fraction can be reused in an Advanced Burner Reactor. Based on the Purex process, which uses tributyl phosphate in n-dodecane, but using multistage, centrifugal contactors. Developed by the Argonne National Laboratory, Chicago, IL, from 2003 and proposed for use by 2014.

Einsteinium - the atomic number is 99 and the chemical symbol is Es. The name derives from Albert Einstein , the German bom physicist who proposed the theory of relativity. A collaboration of American scientists from the Argonne National Laboratory near Chicago, Illinois, the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory in Los Alamos, New Mexico and at the University of California lab in Berkeley, California first found Es in the debris of thermonuclear weapons in 1952. The longest half-life associated with this unstable element is 472 day Es. 

In the 1960s, scientists first produced compounds of xenon and some other noble gases at the Argonne National Laboratory located near Chicago. Xenon and krypton are the only noble gases that readily form compounds with oxygen and fluorine. For instance, when xenon combines with fluorine, it can form a series of compounds, such as xenon difluoride PCeF ), xenon tetra-fluoride (XeF ), and xenon hexafluoride pCeF ). These and other compounds of xenon are formed within metal containers at high temperatures and pressures. They are not stable.
