Biological reduction and removal of Np(V) by two microorganisms
Article Abstract:
Researchers from the University of Birmingham, UK, presented a method for the removal of alpha-emitting actinicides neptunium (V) generated by the nuclear fuel cycle. Np(V) can be removed by using Citrobacter sp. and Shewanella putrefaciens microorganisms together.

Colloid transport and deposition in water-saturated Yucca Mountain tuff as determined by ionic strength
Article Abstract:
Simulated groundwater and latex microspheres (colloids) are run through laboratory samples containing either quartz sand or crushed Yucca Mountain tuff with different levels of ionic strength. Colloid transportation is graphed in relation to ionic strength.

Lanthanide field tracers demonstrate enhanced transport of transuranic radionuclides by natural organic matter
Article Abstract:
Researchers from Tennessee performed an experiment using a lanthanide field tracer to determine mechanisms and rates of transport of transuranic radionuclides buried 25 years ago in disposable trenches in groundwater at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, TN.
