Self-sintering … was a process … to isolate and immobilize nuclear waste. The goal was to convert the waste to a glass that was resistant to leaching by water.

Thorium(chemical symbol Th) is a naturally-occurring radioactive metal found at very low levels in soil, rocks, and water. It has several different isotopes, both natural and man-made, all of which are radioactive. The most common form of thorium is thorium-232, found naturally.... Thorium-232 has a half-life of 14 billion(14 x 109) years, and decays by alpha emission, with accompanying gamma radiation. Thorium-232 is the top of a long decay series that contains key radionuclides such as radium-228, its direct decay product, and radon-220....

Columns can be operated in an expanded bed form at higher flow rates, so preventing fouling and compression and improving mass transfer. Alternatively packed biocatalyst particles can be used in a trickle-flow mode as in some waste-water processes employing microbial flocs.... Packed columns allow a high concentration of biocatalyst to be used. The product molecules or other inhibitors produced during the reaction are constantly swept out of the reactor so that the concentration of products are minimized-so less product inhibition occurs.... The decay of enzyme columns packed with immobilized enzyme or immobilized microbial cells generally proceeds in an exponential pattern related to operating time. 2, record 7, English, - enzyme%20column

Dans un premier type de réacteur, les enzymes insolubilisées, attachées à des particules, sont brassées dans le substrat. Cette technologie primitive, utilisée dans les industries agro-alimentaires, est simplement dérivée de celles utilisées pour les enzymes solubles. La récupération de l'enzyme insoluble reste délicate et s'opère au prix de grandes pertes. Aussi cette technique est-elle peu utilisée. Les autres types de réacteurs reposent sur le passage lent du substrat, à une vitesse déterminée par l'expérience, au travers d'une colonne d'enzyme immobilisée. Essentiellement, le produit de réaction circule X fois à travers la même colonne, jusqu'à l'obtention du rendement adéquat.

Actinium-227, a decay product of uranium-235, is a beta emitter with a 21, 6-year half-life. Its principal decay products are thorium-227(8. 5-day half-life), radium-223(11. 4-day half-life), and a number of short-lived products including radon, bismuth, polonium, and lead isotopes. 1, record 13, English, - radium%2D223

Dès le début de son séjour au laboratoire Curie, Marguerite Perey avait été amenée à étudier un élément encore peu connu, l'actinium 227. Ce radioélément naturel accompagne toujours les terres rares dont il est très difficile à séparer en raison de l'analogie des propriétés chimiques. [...] Elle découvre [...] une faible anomalie dans l'évolution de l'activité P de l'actinium fraîchement purifié de ses descendants. Le rayonnement P de l'actinium 227 a une énergie si faible qu'il n'avait jamais été observé et le descendant immédiat, le thorium 237, ne devait se former qu'avec une période d'une vingtaine de jours. 5, record 14, French, - actinium%20227
