Abstract
The present status of transactinide nuclear chemistry research at JAERI (Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute) is reviewed. Successful production of the transactinide nuclei, 261Rf and 262Db in the reactions of 248Cm(18O,5n) and 248Cm(19F,5n), respectively, at the JAERI tandem accelerator is reported. Aqueous chemistry of element 104, Rf, is being performed with a newly developed rapid ion-exchange separation apparatus. Anion-exchange behaviour of Rf in acidic solutions is outlined. Research plans for the near future are briefly discussed.
