“…The microorganisms decompose the substrate, breaking it down from complex to intermediate and then to simpler products (Epstein 1997;Ipek et al 2002). During composting, compounds containing carbon and nitrogen are transformed through successive activities of different microbes to more stable organic matter, which chemically and biologically resembles humic substances (Paré et al 1999).…”

“…The system was calibrated by using a beta-ray standard source. The method of radioactivity calculation and the system calibration have previously been described (Dogru et al 2001;Dogru and Canbazoglu 2002;Ipek et al 2002). 129 I radioactivity levels in patients' drinking water supply, nodules, and normal thyroid tissues were statistically evaluated.…”

Nodular formation of the thyroid tissue can occur as a result of exposure to radiation. The nodular goiter is a common disease seen in the city of Elazig and its surroundings, in the eastern part of Turkey. A prospective study was conducted in an effort to identify the role of 129I in drinking water supply. Specimens obtained from nodular and normal thyroid tissue during surgery and also water specimens were counted by nuclear spectrometric system. 129I radioactivity in nodular tissue was noted to be higher compared to normal tissue and the difference was statistically significant (p <0.05). There was no statistically significant difference (p >0.05) between 129I radioactivity in the water supply and tissue obtained from the patients who have malignant or benign nodular lesions. These results support that the 129I radioactivity level in the water supply is one of the risk factors of the nodular formation of the thyroid tissue in the eastern part of Turkey.

“…To ensure safe disposal, liquid radioactive waste has to fulfill stringent requirements. Permissible amounts of radioactive substances and other impurities such as suspended particulates, bio-foulants, and organic or inorganic chemicals have been laid down by the government (Ipek et al 2002). Numerous methods are used for liquid radioactive waste treatment, such as flocculation, ion exchange, chemical precipitation, sedimentation, ion exchange, thermal evaporation, biological methods evaporation, membrane technology, and adsorption.…”

We are living in a modern civilization with the help of a nuclear power facility. But, we are aware about the harmful effects of radionuclide's produced from nuclear power plants. So, the superiority in the technologies of nuclear waste treatment is prominent. Separation technologies are used to concentrate the radionuclides and prevent the spread of this hazard to the environment. This chapter has three parts: the first part discussed the types of membrane processes
