Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study showed the possibility to establish an energy cost advancing system for decontamination and volume reduction of contaminated soils using protists. In the system, radioactive cesium would be released by subcritical water treatment from the contaminated soils and the radionuclide would be absorbed by protists such as V. crystalliferum and G. sulphuraria.
