The presence of actinides in radioactive wastes is of major concern because of their

environment. Studies have been and are being made on inorganic processes affecting the
migration of radionuclides from these repositories to the environment but it is becoming
increasingly evident that microbial processes are of importance as well. Bacteria interact
with uranium through different mechanisms including, biosorption at the cell surface …
