The use of natural uranium decay series studies in support of understanding redox conditions at potential radioactive waste disposal sites

Uranium is a redox-sensitive element which occurs naturally in the bedrock and groundwaters in Fennoscandia, and can be used, in conjunction with its decay series descendants, to indicate groundwater redox conditions. Not only can contemporary conditions be characterised, but evidence of past change...
