Radioiodine sorption/desorption and speciation transformation by subsurface sediments from the Hanford Site.
Chen Xu,Daniel I. Kaplan,Saijin Zhang,Matthew Athon,Yi-Fang Ho,Hsiu-Ping Li,Chris M. Yeager,Kathleen A. Schwehr,Russell Grandbois,Dawn M. Wellman,Peter H. Santschi +10 more
TL;DR: The findings that these sediments can readily reduce IO3(-), and that IO3(-) sorbs to a greater extent than I(-), sheds light into earlier unexplained Hanford field data that demonstrated increases in groundwater (127)I(-)/(127)IO3 (-) ratios and a decrease groundwater (129)IO 3(-) concentrations along a transect away from the point sources.

Sorption of selected radionuclides on different MnO2 phases
TL;DR: In this article, the particle-water distribution coefficient (PWC) on three novel nanostructured MnO2 sorbents was analyzed using a set of artificial and natural radionuclides in small batch experiments.

Identification and Elemental Impurity Analysis of Heterogeneous Morphologies in Uranium Oxides Synthesized from Uranyl Fluoride Precursors
TL;DR: The surface morphology characteristics of postenrichment deconversion products in the nuclear fuel cycle are important for producing nuclear fuel pellets and provide the first opportunity for a microstructural signature after conversion to gaseous uranium hexafluoride (UF6) as discussed by the authors .
