Summary

This is a record of the first scientific results for the coordinatedenvironmental science program currently sponsored by the US Department ofEnergy. The purpose of the program is to lay the foundation for remediating thenuclear weapons production legacy in the Unived States, the most expensiveenvironmental program ever attempted. The papers presented in this volume coveractinide, inorganic, analytical, physical, biogeochemistry, and seperativechemistry areas of this program.
