Crystal Ball: A Naturalist Perspective of Microbiology: Examples from Methanogenic Archaea

Journal Article Boyd, Eric S. ; Spietz, Rachel L. ; Kour, Manjinder ; ... - Environmental Microbiology

Storytelling has been the primary means of knowledge transfer over human history. The effectiveness and reach of stories are improved when the message is appropriate for the target audience. Oftentimes, the stories that are most well received and recounted are those that have a clear purpose and that are told from a variety of perspectives that touch on the varied interests of the target audience. Whether scientists realize or not, they are accustomed to telling stories of their own scientific discoveries through the preparation of manuscripts, presentations, and lectures. Perhaps less frequently, scientists prepare review articles or book chapters thatmore »« less

MILESTONES AND FUTURE DIRECTIONS IN THE SOLVENT EXTRACTION OF CAESIUM

Conference Moyer, Bruce A

The remarkable development of solvent-extraction (SX) chemistry for caesium separation over the past half a century as driven by the needs of the nuclear industry now constitutes an instructive case study in exploring the limits of selectivity and cycle efficiency in SX. In this review, key milestones in the pursuit of both fundamentals and applications of caesium extraction will be highlighted along with a look at future prospects. The high-yield fission-product 137Cs constitutes a major fraction of the radioactivity in nuclear wastes, and in view of its heat production, environmental mobility, radiation hazard, and even uses as a radiation source,more »« less

Caesium immobilization in hydrated calcium-silicate-aluminate systems

Journal Article Bagosi, S ; Csetenyi, L J - Cement and Concrete Research

A special field of application of cementitious materials in using cements for immobilization of low and medium level radioactive wastes. Clarification of mechanisms of binding is complicated by the multicomponent nature of the solidifying matrix. In the present work, interest is turned to one of the most difficult to confine, long half-life isotopes, the caesium isotope. The cement matrix for solidification of the radioactive waste can be considered, with simplification, as a CaO-SiO{sub 2}-Al{sub 2}O{sub 3}-H{sub 2}O system. The various compositions of hydrated cementitious assemblages were investigated with respect to their Cs sorption by measuring the Cs distribution ratios (R{submore »« less
