Times Cited Count：127 Percentile：98.72(Nuclear Science & Technology)The total amount of uranium dissolved in seawater at a uniform concentration of 3 mg-U/m
in the world's oceans is 4.5 billion tons. An adsorption method using polymeric adsorbents capable of specifically recovering uranium from seawater is reported to be economically feasible. A uranium-specific non-woven fabric was used as the adsorbent packed in an adsorption cage. We submerged adsorption cages, 16 m
in cross-sectional area and 16 cm in height, in the Pacific Ocean at a depth of 20 m at 7 km offshore of Japan. The cage consisted of stacks of 52,000 sheets of the uranium-specific non-woven fabric with a total mass of 350 kg. The total amount of uranium recovered by the non-woven fabric was more than one kg in terms of yellow cake during a total submersion time of 240 days in the ocean.

The compact Raman Lidar is developed for the atmosphere measurement under nuclear environment, in which radiation ionize the water vapor and generate the water-cluster. In this study, the Raman lidar throws the NUV-beam of 349 nm and detects the backscattering echoes of water-Raman (396 nm) and the water-vapor-Raman (400 nm). Am-241 of 9 MBq was used for the radiation source. The results showed that the water-Raman increased and the water-vapor-Raman decreased under the nuclear environment. Its ratio becomes 3 times. It is well coincide with the estimation. The radius of water cluster was estimated 200 nm by the experiment.
