Potential of Soils Natural Sorbents for Environmental Decontamination From 137Cs

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 2, Page 779-789, 30 January 2026.
ABSTRACT This study addresses the existing research gap concerning the lack of integrated data on the role of in situ soil components in the long‐term fixation of 137Cs under natural, protected, and non‐agricultural conditions. The contamination of ecosystems by radioactive isotopes, particularly 137Cs, represents a considerable environmental hazard ...

Aptamer Engineering: Strategies for Discovering Functional Nucleic Acids for Next‐Generation Diagnostics and Biosensing

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 2, 9 January 2026.
The advent of aptamers has highlighted their potential as alternatives to antibodies, overcoming limitations of structural instability and production cost. However, conventional approaches such as SELEX remain slow and labor‐intensive. This review examines recent advances in aptamer engineering, emphasizing in vitro and AI‐driven in silico strategies ...

Novel method for determining of 137Cs in seawater using liquid scintillation counter

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, Volume 24, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Robust and efficient monitoring of radiocesium in the marine environment has become increasingly important, especially following the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident. A liquid scintillation counter (LSC) has been used for 137Cs analysis—which was identified as one of the hazardous radionuclides; however, a major limitation of ...

Deep Water Renewal in the Amerasian Basin Derived From Natural and Anthropogenic Tracer Data Sets

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract The deep waters of the Amerasian Basin in the Arctic Ocean are among the most isolated in the modern Arctic Mediterranean Sea (e.g., Schlosser et al., 1997, https://doi.org/10.1016/s0168‐583x(96)00677‐5). In this study, we use a suite of tracers spanning a range of timescales—including chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), SF6, radiocarbon (14C), and ...

Evaluation of the Sorption Properties of Diatomite for Capture of Radioactive Barium, Cobalt, and Zinc

International Journal of Chemical Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Sorption is a well‐known method for radionuclide removal, but the high cost of synthetic sorbents constrains its application. This study investigates the potential of locally sourced diatomite from Kariandusi, Kenya, as a cost‐effective sorbent for capturing barium (Ba), cobalt (Co) and zinc (Zn) from radioactive liquid waste.

Decommissioning Cost Estimate for the Ghana Research Reactor‐1 Facility Using the CERREX‐D2 Software

Science and Technology of Nuclear Installations, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The Ghana Research Reactor‐1 facility would certainly be decommissioned, either at the end of its life or by a decision to discontinue its operation. In planning for GHARR‐1’s eventual decommissioning, estimating the overall decommissioning cost is a major activity that needs to be undertaken to support budgeting and decision‐making for the project.
