The effect of microbial action on nuclear waste management: is there enhanced leaching from bitumen and increased radionuclide movement through geologic media?
Long-term management of nuclear wastes demands absolute physical isolation of noxious radionuclides from the biosphere until decay to safe levels has occurred. Due to the extremely long half-life of some isotopes, the required isolation may be on the order of millennia. Past research on radioactive...
