Biological reduction of uranium in groundwater and subsurface soil.
Biological reduction of uranium is one of the techniques currently studied for in situ remediation of groundwater and subsurface soil. We investigated U(VI) reduction in groundwaters and soils of different origin to verify the presence of bacteria capable of U(VI) reduction. The groundwaters originated from mill tailings sites with U concentrations as high as 50 mg/l, and from other sites where...
متن کاملAssessing depleted uranium (DU) contamination of soil, plants and earthworms at UK weapons testing sites.
Depleted uranium (DU) weapons testing programmes have been conducted at two locations within the UK. An investigation was therefore carried out to assess the extent of any environmental contamination arising from these test programmes using both alpha spectrometry and mass spectrometry techniques. Uranium isotopic signatures indicative of DU contamination were observed in soil, plant and earthw...
متن کاملDepleted uranium in Kosovo: results of a survey by gamma spectrometry on soil samples.
The presence of depleted uranium in the soil of former Yugoslavia after the 1999 conflict raised great public concern all over the world. The so-called Balkan-syndrome is often linked with depleted uranium contamination. An excellent compilation of data about DU and its possible impact on health and environment can be found in the 1999 UNEP report and publications from the Swedish Radiation Pro...
متن کاملResponse of Hanford Site Soil Arthrobacter Isolates to Uranium Contamination
Uranium is one of the most prevalent radiological groundwater and soil contaminants at Hanford, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) site, Washington State, USA. Bioremediation strategies, such as injections of a soluble sodium tripolyphosphate amendment into the contaminated groundwater in order to sequester uranium through the formation of insoluble uranyl phosphate minerals, may have resulted...
متن کاملDetermination of irradiated reactor uranium in soil samples in Belarus using 236U as irradiated uranium tracer.
This work presents experimental results on the distribution of irradiated reactor uranium from fallout after the accident at Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) in comparison to natural uranium distribution in different soil types. Oxidation processes and vertical migration of irradiated uranium in soils typical of the 30 km relocation area around Chernobyl NPP were studied using 236U as the tr...
