Transaqua

Project Transaqua - Hydrochemical and/or microbial impact on the transfer of radionuclides in groundwater

Person in charge:
M. Sc. Katja Burow

Description:
Radionuclides are released through water/rock interactions getting finally to drinking and surface water. Up to now, there is little known on the role of microbes in this process of release and transport. This subproject of the KVSF-network TransAqua focusses on the understanding of release, transport and immobilization of radionuclides in the system rock/water considering hydrochemical and microbial processes. Further information about this project can be obtained on the TransAqua website: https://transaqua.helmholtz-muenchen.deExternal link.
