- Abstract
Sorption of radionuclides on a biomass of aerobic microorganisms isolated from deep repositories of liquid low-level waste was examined. Each strain exhibited substantially different sorption of different radionuclides. In neutral medium, the maximal proportion of the recovered radionuclides was 77, 92, 76, 72, and 33% for Pu, Np, U, Am, and Sr, respectively. None of the isolated strains sorbed Cs. The highest sorption ability was exhibited by Pseudomonas genus bacteria. The results obtained are indicative of different mechanisms of interactions of microorganisms with radionuclides.
