Uranium chemistry and geological disposal of radioactive waste

A new article provides a significant new insight into our understanding of uranium biogeochemistry and could help with the nuclear legacy. The recent study is the first time that researchers have shown that a uranium-sulfide complex can form under conditions representative of a deep underground environment. This complex then transforms further into highly immobile uranium oxide nanoparticles.
