Biodegradation of the alkaline cellulose degradation products generated during radioactive waste disposal. [PDF]
The anoxic, alkaline hydrolysis of cellulosic materials generates a range of cellulose degradation products (CDP) including α and β forms of isosaccharinic acid (ISA) and is expected to occur in radioactive waste disposal sites receiving intermediate ...

Non-radioactive but nuclear? Containment and circulation of wastes from the French nuclear tests in Polynesia [PDF]
Beside Moruroa and Fangataufa, the two atolls where atomic bombs were detonated, the conduction of the French nuclear tests from 1966 to 1995 in Polynesia required the deployment of infrastructure throughout the whole archipelago.
