Radiochemistry Aims and scope

Abstract

Results of treatment of radioactively contaminated water from Lake Ladoga on a pilot sorption setup are reported. The treatment procedure for fresh water containing technogenic contaminations (oil and corrosion products) can be improved by combining the sorption and membrane methods.
