Quantitative assessment of in situ microbial communities affecting nuclear waste disposal

  • 1. Oak Ridge National Lab., TN (United States)
  • 2. Tennessee Univ., Knoxville, TN (United States)

Description

Microbes in the environments surrounding nuclear waste depositories pose several questions regarding the protection of the surrounding communities. microbes can facilitate microbially influenced corrosion (MIC), mobilize and facilitate the transport of nuclides as well as produce gaseous emissions which can compromise containment. We have developed an analysis of the extant microbiota that is independent of quantitative recovery and subsequent growth, based on signature biomarkers analysis (SBA)
