The primary objective of the foreign travel was to attend the International Conference Actinides-89,'' and present an invited plenary lecture. This International Conference, held every four years, is dedicated to recent research and technology with the actinides. In addition to the scientific presentations, the traveler also benefited from frequent technical discussions with a number of the conference attendees. The traveler received several technical preprints not included in the Conference's written program. These dealt with phase diagrams of plutonium-americium and plutonium-curium, and with high-temperature studies of curium metal. These topics are very pertinent to the traveler's research interests and areas of work. Another important benefit of the travel was learning in other laboratories. The traveler also visited an isotope production reactor at the Institute of Nuclear Physics, Academy of Sciences of UzbekSSR.
