Mitigation of Uranium Mining Impacts—A Review on Groundwater Remediation Technologies

“…Several examples describing the application of this method to remove other radionuclides not related to uranium mining can be found in the literature, such as the removal of tritium with an efficiency of 69 to 97% at pilot-plant testing carried out by DOE at Clemson University [48]. At the Savannah River Site, a demonstration of ion exchange to remove cesium from water achieved an efficiency of 99.9% [49]. In bench-scale tests of self-assembled monolayers on mesoporous supports, the removal efficiencies were 99% for plutonium and cesium [50].…”
