@GatekeepKen Maybe, just maybe, neutralizing waste might be the answer...

Bacteria Neutralizing Nuclear Waste

by Robert Hayward | Apr 29, 2020

"This special kind of bacteria was discovered at a nuclear waste storage site in Siberia. At that point, it appeared to be a good tool for creating a natural barrier to the spread of radionuclides, such as and . With further investigation, researchers from the Frumkin Institute of Physical Chemistry in Moscow and the Russian Academy of Sciences’ Federal Research Center for Biotechnology were able to find a way to successfully use these bacteria.

"The researchers were able to isolate certain microorganisms during their studies. Those microorganisms can be used as a safeguard to protect the environment from liquid radioactive waste. Scientists made this conclusion while they were conducting microbiological studies of groundwater. Specifically, they studied the groundwater from the Seversky deep radiation burial site in Siberia, which is where the liquid radioactive waste that comes from the Siberian Chemical Combine is kept.

"Their research suggests that the bacteria could be used to prevent dangerous radiation from spreading. That’s because these bacteria can convert radioactive ions into sedentary forms, which can stop the radiation from harming the environment. After further research, the scientists learned the exact conditions needed to make the bacteria work in this way, making neutralizing nuclear waste seem much more possible. However, there is much more to discover along with these findings."

"There have long been environmental concerns about the site, which the federal government and private contractors operated from 1954 to 2001 to enrich for and, later, for nuclear power plant fuel.

"In 2019, a nearby middle school was closed after a report was released revealing that previous testing at the school found traces of , a , according to the Dayton Daily News. In 2006, the Daily News found poisoned , radioactive contamination, hundreds of accidental releases of gas or toxic fluorine, and other toxins that leached from unlined landfills and ditches into groundwater and a nearby creek."
