The environmental mobility of newly deposited radionuclides in surface soil is driven by
complex biogeochemical relationships, which have significant impacts on transport …

Uranium and related decay-chain radionuclides remain important subjects of study for a
number of reasons. Uranium has the potential to be chemically toxic near mining and …

The transfer of natural radionuclides of the U decay series through the biosphere is
important, especially for assessment of the impacts of mining and milling of U ores. The …

Uranium contamination of soils and sediments often originates from acidic or alkaline waste
sources, with diffusion being a major transport mechanism. Measurements of U (VI) diffusion …

Uranium may pose a hazard to ecosystems and human health due to its chemotoxic and
radiotoxic properties. The long half-life of many U isotopes and their ability to migrate raise …

Desorption tests, using a sequential extraction method, were used to characterize and
quantify thorium and uranium sorption to contaminated wetland sediments collected from the …

Solubility and mobility of thorium and uranium in soils: the effect of soil properties on Th and
U concentrations in soil solution This study offers new insights into the dynamics of Th and U …

Depleted uranium (DU) has become a soil contaminant of considerable concern in many
combat zones and weapons-testing sites around the world, including locations in Europe …

Present study aims to quantify the influence of soil parameters on soil solution uranium
concentration for 238U spiked soils. Eighteen soils collected under pasture were selected …

The long-term release of uranium from residual sources at former uranium mill sites was
often not considered in prior conceptual and numerical models, as contaminant removal …
