Developing effective hazard control and remediation programs to deal with uranium in the environment requires an understanding of how the substrate interacts with surface water, groundwater, soil and minerals in the subsurface zone. To this end, researchers at Pacific Northwest Nuclear Laboratory in Richland, Wash., and at the University of Washington in Seattle are using time-resolved laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopy. The cooling water used in nuclear power plants contains low-level radioactive waste, including traces of uranium. Other major sources of uranium in the environment...Read full article
