JOM Table of Contents: July 1997

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Volume 49, Number 7--July 1997

ABOUT THE COVER
An undesired by-product of the nuclear industry is difficult-to-process radioactive wastes. In this issue, JOM presents an integrated series of articles discussing recent work at Argonne National Laboratory designed to recycle and/or concentrate these materials for storage. The cover photograph shows Greg Fletcher of Argonne National Laboratory examining a deposit of pure uranium extracted by electrorefining. (Photo from Argonne National Laboratory.)
