Background
MAs remain in spent fuel
Highly radioactive and very long half-life
P&T systems decrease the radioactivity of the spent fuel as well as produce energy
Physico-chemical properties of MAs
for scientific understanding of partitioning of MAs and transmuter fuels / targets
strenuous experiments due to decay products
and remote measurements
Minor Actinide Property Database
IAEA15
Working group established in 2003
Electronic database and web site created in 2004
Initial data collection performed in 2004
Data reviewed by working group in 2005
Expansion and correction done in the database in 2006
Publication Committee approval in 2006
Review and test 2007 - 2008
