Function of microbes on chemical species transformation of radionuclides

Onuki, Toshihiko*; Ozaki, Takuo*; Kozai, Naofumi   ; Utsunomiya, Satoshi*

It has been experimentally revealed that microorganisms transform radionuclides. For example, cells of microorganisms such as bacteria and yeast accumulate actinides on the surface. Phosphate ions released from microorganism cells precipitate actinides as phosphates. This chapter discusses the role of environmental microorganisms on migration of actinides in the groundwater around Lake Karachai where a lot of radioactive wastes from nuclear facilities of the Soviet Union.
