CHARACTERIZATION AND TREATMENT OF ACTINIDE CONTAMINATED SOILS AND WELL WATERS

摘要

Soil and well water contaminated with actinides, such as uranium and plutonium, are an environmental concern at most U.S. Department of Energy sites, as well as other locations in the world. Remediation actions are on going at many sites, and plans for cleanup are underway at other locations. This paper will review work underway at Clemson University in the area of characterization and treatment of soil and water contaminated with actinide elements.
