Project type

Large-Scale EMSL Research

Technetium (99Tc) and radioactive iodine (129I) are long-lived fission products found in nuclear waste. Their abundance coupled with their long half-lives and aqueous mobility, make them the two…

Immobilization and interactions of Tc and I in the subsurface and mechanisms controlling their retention

Lead Institution
