The radioecological relevance of actinide particles 1 did not first become a matter of concern
following the nuclear accidents at Fukushima, Chernobyl, or Three Mile Island. Public and …

Abstract Tetravalent actinides, An (IV), are usually assumed to be little mobile in near-neutral
environmental waters because of their low solubility. However, there are certain …

By 1911, the atomic weight of uranium had been refined to 238.5 (Gmelin, vol. A2, 1980a).
The natural isotope 235 U was discovered in 1935 by mass spectrometry. The artificial …

The recent estimated global stockpile of separated plutonium (Pu) worldwide is about 500 t,
with equal contributions from nuclear weapons and civilian nuclear energy. Independent of …

This article gives an overview of the current status of knowledge concerning the role of
nanoparticles (inorganic and organic) in deep geological host rocks and the potential …

Petrographic, fluid-inclusion, and carbon and oxygen stable isotope studies of Tertiary

Colloid-like nanoparticles in groundwater have been shown to facilitate migration of several
radionuclides: 239,240 Pu, 137Cs, 152,154,155 Eu, and 60Co. However, the exact type of …

Influence of preliminary heating in vapor on leaching of Na-Al-P-glass in water is
investigated. The glass simulates industrial waste forms for solidification of high level liquid …

This paper presents the first data on the mineralogy, geochemistry, and quantitative
distribution of suspension determined with the use of sedimentation traps installed in Lake …
