Biological remediation strategy for immobilizing Ag-110m and Cs-134 in soils

Creator:

Whitlow, Jesse Lynn

Abstract:

After contamination of soil in Japan due to the Fukushima Daiichi accident, there has been an increased interest in remediation of radiologically contaminated land. This study investigated the efficacy of a new biological remediation technology developed by Earthfort, an Oregon based company to hold radionuclides at the soil surface. Cesium-134...
