Role of Microbes in Bioremediation of Radioactive Waste

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Microbial Rejuvenation of Polluted Environment

Part of the book series: Microorganisms for Sustainability ((MICRO,volume 25))

Abstract

Intense release of radionuclides into the environment and their mobility prompted public and research concerned in recent years about the processing of radionuclides. Numerous cases of soil and groundwater are getting contaminated with various radioactive wastes. Currently available technologies are quite cost-effective and technical limitation increased the cost high. Bioremediation, where microorganisms (bacteria, algae, fungi) plays a major role in harnessing the biogeochemical cycles of radioactive wastes. In this chapter, we exclusively discuss the role of microbes in decontaminating process of various hazardous radioactive wastes.
