Abstract

Sorption of U(VI) with soil from the region of location of the radioactive waste repository was studied. The radionuclide 237U produced by the photonuclear reaction 238U(γ, n)237U on an electron accelerator, MT-25 microtron (FLNR, JINR), was used as tracer. The U(VI) speciation in solution at various U concentrations was calculated in the range pH 1–7 using the Speciation program.
