Retention of Some Radionuclides on Soil in Site Selection for Nuclear Facility

摘要: The mobility of several radionuclides in a soil sample from potential site Egypt is examined. retention 152,154Eu (as homologs 241Am), 60Co, 137Cs, and 99Mo the presence chelating ligands without them studied. Four agents, namely, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), citric oxalic acids major degradation products EDTA), humic are chosen for this purpose. radionuclide on decreases order Co(II) > Eu(III) Cs(I) Mo(VI), with Kd equal to 11.38 mL/g 1088 152,154Eu. had little influence sorption 60Co but significantly decreased owing complexation. nuclear can act as material trapping released radionuclides.
