dc.description.abstractThe advantages of using radionuclides for laboratory studies of environmental processes include the wide range of element concentrations that can be studied, the capability to simultaneously study several isotopes in a single experiment, the direct applicability to the behaviour of radioactive waste or fallout, and the ability to study the mechanisms, reversibility and kinetics of environmental reactions under controlled conditions. These attributes are demonstrated using specific examples drawn from case studies in Australia, including radionuclide fallout onto tropical soils, the association of trace metals with harbour sediments and the behaviour of uranium in natural and contaminated systems. © 2004 Elsevier B.V.en_AU
dc.description.sponsorshipWe are grateful to many scientists from ANSTO and other institutions who have contributed to the case studies which have been reviewed in this paper. These include J. Twining, J. Harries, P. Airey, P. Duerden, R. Szymczak (all of ANSTO), S. Shinners (Energy Resources of Australia), D. Waite (University of NSW) and J. Davis (US Geological Survey). We also thank ERA for funding the research relating to U retention on wetland sediments and USNRC for funding much of the work on U sorption. We acknowledge many other individuals who have been involved in recognizing and utilizing the potential of isotopes in environmental research in the Australia/Pacific Region.en_AU
