INL reports findings on unusual quantum behavior of plutonium
Scientists at Idaho National Laboratory have discovered that plutonium hexaboride (PuB6) displays a type of unusual quantum property called a topological Kondo insulating state. Materials with this property are neither typical electricity conductors nor regular insulators. Rather, they have exterior surfaces that strongly conduct electricity and interiors that block electricity.

The coronavirus (COVID-19) has upended the way organizations and individuals interact and communicate. As we practice social distancing and comply with “stay at home” orders, nuclear energy communicators have found ways to continue to tell the story of nuclear energy. This panel will feature insights and information from communications leaders who each have prevailed over the challenges that the coronavirus era presents for communicating with internal and external stakeholders.
