meltdowns, but the speciation of the released components of the nuclear fuel remains …

A series of different nuclear sources associated with the nuclear weapon and fuel cycles
have contributed to the release of radioactive particles to the environment. Following nuclear …

The biogeochemical activities of free‐living and symbiotic fungi must be acknowledged in
attempts to understand uranium cycling and dispersal in the environment. Although the near …

The testing of depleted uranium (DU; a 97.25% U: 0.75% Ti alloy) ammunition and its use in
recent war campaigns in Iraq (1991 and 2003) and the Balkans (1995 and 1999) has led to …

Depleted uranium (DU) is a by-product of nuclear fuel enrichment and is used in antitank
penetrators due to its high density, self-sharpening, and pyrophoric properties. Military …

Free-living and symbiotic fungi can interact with, and transform certain uranium species,
while general metabolic activities such as decomposition of organic substances and …

In this article, the speciation and behavior of anthropogenic metallic uranium deposited on
natural soil are approached by combining EXAFS (extended X-ray absorption fine structure) …
