Radionuclide behaviour in the natural environment : science, implications and lessons for / by Christophe poinssot

Part 1: Radionuclide chemistry in the natural environment: Fundamentals of aquatic chemistry relevant to radionuclide behaviour in the environment; Aquatic chemistry of the actinides: Aspects relevant to their environmental behaviour; Aquatic chemistry of long-lived mobile fission and activation products in the context of deep geological disposal; Impacts of humic substances on the geochemical behaviour of radionuclides; Impacts of microorganisms on radionuclides in contaminated environments and waste materials--
Part 2: Radionuclide migration: Hydrogeological features relevant to radionuclide migration in the natural environment; Radionuclide retention at solid/liquid interfaces in the natural environment; Radionuclide migration: coupling transport and chemistry; Impact of colloidal transport on radionuclide migration in the natural environment; Natural analogues of nuclear waste repositories: studies and their implications for the development of radionuclide migration models; Studying radionuclide migration on different scales: the complimentary roles of laboratory and in situ experiments; Radionuclide transfer processes in the biosphere--
Part 3: Environmental impact and remediation: Modelling radionuclide transport in the environment and calculating radiation doses; Quantitative assessment of radionuclide migration from near-surface radioactive waste burial sites: the waste dumps in the Chernobyl exclusion zone as an example; Remediation of sites contaminated by radionuclides; Safety assessment of nuclear waste repositories: A radionuclide migration perspective.

This book provides a comprehensive reference that covers the whole spectrum of research and development into radionuclide science and eco/geochemistry, detailing the most relevant processes and parameters affecting radionuclide migration.
