Description/Abstract:
A DISCUSSION OF THE ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF THE THREE TYPES OF RADIOISOTOPE REMOVAL BY MINERAL REACTIONS, AND THE PROGRESS MADE TO DATE. THE THREE TYPES ARE: (1) INCLUSION OF THE RADIOISOTOPES IN THE CRYSTAL LATTICE OF A RELATIVELY UNLEACHABLE SOLID, (2) RADIOISOTOPE REMOVAL BY CATION EXCHANGE EXCLUSIVE OF THE CLAYS, AND (3) REMOVAL OF RADIOISOTPES BY A COMINATION OF THE FIRST TWO GENERAL REACTION TYPES
