New Mexico is advancing its uranium cleanup efforts with a new training program that offers participants a $2,000 monthly stipend.

The cleanup is funded through the $5.15 billion Tronox settlement reached in 2014, which allocated $1 billion specifically for remediating 50 uranium mines across the Navajo Nation.

The microbes produce substances that help to transform the uranium, so that it is more easily incorporated into minerals.

Areas of focused groundwater discharge identified by the fiber-optic distributed temperature sensing surveys corresponded closely with areas of elevated electrical conductivity.

The cleanup project will also tackle former satellite exploration sites around Rayrock, an old barge landing at Marian Lake, and a disused power line.

Researchers in Germany use their work to shed light on the behavior of radionuclides in our environment with fungus.

Boston Chemical Data Corp recently showed Jana Elementary School in Florissant, Missouri, has radioactive isotope lead-210 levels 22-tims higher than expected on the kindergarten playground. 

Monticello hosts a former uranium disposal and processing site managed by the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Legacy Management (LM).

In a study published this month in Nature Sustainability, a research group led by the University of Tsukuba has revealed that although the initial effects of increased sediment load in rivers caused by the Fukushima decontamination efforts were unsustainable, several factors worked in the region's favor to reduce these effects.
