The Microbiology of Nuclear Waste Disposal
Editat de Jonathan R. Lloyd, Andrea Cherkouken Limba Engleză Paperback – 26 oct 2020
Planning for suitable facilities in the U.S., Europe, and Asia has been based mainly on knowledge from the geological and physical sciences. However, recent studies have shown that microbial life can proliferate in the inhospitable environments associated with radioactive waste disposal, and can control the long-term fate of nuclear materials. This can have beneficial and damaging impacts, which need to be quantified.
- Encompasses expertise from both the bio and geo disciplines, aiming to foster important collaborations across this disciplinary divide
- Includes reviews and research papers from leading groups in the field
- Provides helpful guidance in light of plans progressing worldwide for geological disposal facilities
- Includes timely research for planning and safety case development
