Investing in Actinides


Actinides are the 15 elements between actinium and lawrencium. They are all radioactive. The only actinides that occur in more than trace amounts are thorium and uranium, and they have been considered for nuclear fuels. Neptunium and plutonium occur in trace amounts in uranium ores, but the heavier actinides were only discovered in nuclear fallout or synthesized in nuclear reactors.
