The complex contamination of groundwater near radioactive waste repositories by nitrates and actinides is a common problem for many nuclear fuel cycle facilities. One of the effective methods to remove nitrates and reduce actinide migration activity is b...

The trivalent lanthanide-actinide separations are a major challenge in reprocessing of nuclear fuels. To achieve this, commonly organic extractants and solvents are utilized in elaborate processes. Here we report a simple new method that can perform a su...
