Nanomaterials in nuclear engineering and radioecology

Resumo

Key results concerning large-scale application of nanomaterials in nuclear engineering are reviewed. The data on redox reactions of uranium and actinides in solutions and solid-phase transformations for the development of modern technologies for fuel reprocessing and handling of alkaline radioactive waste are discussed. The information concerning various methods for treatment of liquid radioactive waste with nanostructured sorption materials (carbon materials included) is also presented.
