A research team at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) has managed to purify water containing uranium using a special kind of bacteria known as magnetotactic bacteria.

The microbes produce substances that help to transform the uranium, so that it is more easily incorporated into minerals.

Areas of focused groundwater discharge identified by the fiber-optic distributed temperature sensing surveys corresponded closely with areas of elevated electrical conductivity.

The cleanup project will also tackle former satellite exploration sites around Rayrock, an old barge landing at Marian Lake, and a disused power line.

Researchers in Germany use their work to shed light on the behavior of radionuclides in our environment with fungus.

Weston’s original technical paper called “Pilot-Scale Study for In-situ Leaching of Residual Uranium from Remediated Soil” recently achieved distinguished honors reserved for just 16 of the 300 papers submitted at the Waste Management (WM) Symposia held in March 2022.
