Bacteria found to reduce uranium mobility in clay
Researchers at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) research laboratory in Germany have investigated a microorganism capable of transforming water-soluble hexavalent uranium [U(VI)] to the less-mobile tetravalent uranium [U(IV)]. The researchers found that the sulfate-reducing bacterium Desulfosporosinus hippei, a relative of naturally occurring microorganisms present in clay rock and bentonite, showed a relatively fast removal of uranium from clay pore water.

Come join this interactive workshop and learn about OpenMC, an open source Monte Carlo code. We will introduce some of the basics of the code and also give you a chance to try a few of the more advanced features unique to OpenMC. Come join this interactive workshop and learn about OpenMC, an open source Monte Carlo code. You will be able to run our examples in the cloud via a web browser so no need to install any software before the conference.
