“…Overall, it was found that most of the plant species inspected had low experiences of removing U, Th, and 226 Ra from the stakeouts to the plant tissues. The results were friendly with the earlier research results [48][49][50][51][52].…”

Phytoremediation technology incorporates living plants for in situ remediation of contaminated soils, sediments, tailings and groundwater. These practices integrates the removal, or degradation of toxic wastes that is capable of cleaning up an area with low to moderate levels of contamination. Phytoremediation has been studied widely for metals, pesticides, solvents, explosives, crude oil, etc. These studies and research are advanced, especially in small-scale operations. Phytoremediation has been successfully tested to decontamination of radioactive sites. The chapter initiates with possible remediation methods used for radioactive wastes where we will discuss types and nature of radioisotope contamination. Then we discuss discusses the classifications of phytoremediation techniques to treat radioactive contaminated waste. Phytoremediation performance depends on numerous factors such as soil composition, level of toxicity, suitable plant species, etc. Conversely, phytoremediation prospects low cost, practical and ecologically viable approach for low-level radiation waste clean-up.

“…Because of the separation process used for uranium extraction from ores, 226 Ra is a major contaminant in uranium mill tailings all over the world (Markose et al, 1993;Sam and Ericsson, 1995;ATSDR, 1999;Hakam et al, 2001;Madruga et al, 2001;Soudek et al, 2004Soudek et al, , 2007aChen et al, 2005;Pulhani et al, 2005). The metabolic behaviour of radium in the body is similar to that of calcium but radium poses an external as well as an internal health hazard since strong gamma radiation is associated with several short-lived decay products of 226 Ra.…”

“…Huang et al (1998) found that citric acid was the most effective in enhancing uranium accumulation in Brassica juncea and Brassica chinensis. Soudek et al (2007) investigated the 226 Ra activities in the leaves, flowers and seeds of three woody species alder (Alnus glutinosa), birch (Betula pendula) and elder (Sambucus nigra) growing at a mill tailing dump K1 at a previous uranium mill in Mydlovary, South Bohemia. Plant samples were collected in period May-October during 3 years and results showed that 226 Ra activities in the leaves generally increased during the vegetation periods and the highest 226 Ra accumulation occurred in the birch and lowest in alder.…”
