A TRANSURANIC‐ELEMENTS research and production facility is being completed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Its three principal components are a High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR), an elaborate radiochemical processing plant called TRU and a transuranic research laboratory. Built over the past eight years at a cost of more than $24.5 million, this facility provides scientists from many different institutions with tools to advance understanding of the chemistry and nuclear physics of the transuranics and also to advance the technology of highflux reactors.
