Understanding the biogeochemistry of radionuclides in the environment is essential for effective isolation of nuclear waste in repositories, management of contaminated sites, ensuring long-term protection of our ecosystems, and limiting impacts on human health. Here the authors discuss the extreme complexity of this multidimensional chemistry problem, highlighting the outstanding open questions for the next generations of environmental radiochemists.
了解环境中放射性核素的生物地球化学对于在储存库中有效隔离核废料、管理受污染场地、确保对我们生态系统的长期保护以及限制对人类健康的影响至关重要。在此,作者们讨论了这个多维度化学问题的极端复杂性,强调了留给下一代环境放射化学家的突出开放性问题。
