Radio-ecological research – recent results and their application


Radio-ecological research – recent results and their application

Raff, J.

Radionuclides occur in the environment naturally and by anthropogenic activities. Beside other processes, their interaction with the biosphere determines their fate in nature. Therefore, a detailed understanding of how organisms interact with radionuclides and how they influence the migration behavior of radionuclides in the environment is crucial for a reliable risk assessment. This presentation gives an overview of how selected microbes interact with radionuclides and their analogs. In addition, some examples will be given of how the results of radio-ecological research can be successfully transferred into the industry.

Keywords: Radio-ecology; microbes; radionuclides
