“…However, the importance of ongoing investigations of long‐lived radionuclides is highlighted by the paper of Roux et al . (). They found 36 Cl/Cl ratios in groundwater, trench soil and leaf leachates one to five orders of magnitude higher than the theoretical natural 36 Cl/Cl ratio 28 years after the explosion of the Chernobyl nuclear facility.…”

Advances in the chemical, crystallographic and isotopic characterisation of geological and environmental materials can often be ascribed to technological improvements in analytical hardware or to innovative approaches to data acquisition and/or its interpretation. This biennial review addresses key laboratory methods that form much of the foundation for analytical geochemistry; again, this contribution is presented as a compendium of laboratory techniques. We highlight advances that have appeared since January 2012 and that are of particular significance for the chemical and isotopic characterisation of geomaterials. Prominent scientists from the selected analytical fields present publications they judge to be particular noteworthy, providing background information about the method and assessing where further opportunities might be anticipated. In addition to the well-established technologies such as thermal ionisation mass spectrometry and plasma emission spectroscopy, this publication also presents new or rapidly growing methods such as electron backscattered diffraction analysis and atom probe tomographya very sensitive method providing atomic scale information.

“…Microscopic analyses of waste materials and leaching experiments showed that 10-30% of the radioactive inventory is associated with chemically extra-stable Zr-U-O particles [7]. The 36Cl/Cl ratios measured in groundwater, trench soil water, and leaf leachates are 1-5 orders of magnitude higher than the theoretical natural 36Cl/Cl ratio [8]. Studies showed that all these pollutants can get through soil and contaminate the groundwater [9].…”

“…The injector (7) is pulled after completion of well drilling (6) ( Figure 2). The dilator (10) and the head with a hinge driving force (swivel) (11) are then attached to the drill rod (9) instead of the drill bit (8), and the swivel (11) is attached to the injector (7). The drilling rig (3) draws the injector (7) in the well (6) according to the project trajectory, wherein the swivel (11) rotates with the drill rod (9) not transmitting rotational movement to the injector (7).…”
