Abstract
The paper presents ultrafiltration and microscopic study of colloidal matter from radioactive waste disposal site at the Siberian Chemical Plant. It is established that most part of actinides (55–90%) are mainly bonded to colloidal particles, whereas only 20% natural uranium are bonded to >5–µm particles at the background site. In general, the retention of transuranium elements (TUE) from contaminated waters by membranes with pore size from 200 to 5 nm increases with increase of anthropogenic uranium content in water
