Role of Microscopic Flow-Paths on Nuclide Migration in Sedimentary Rocks

Microbial carbon cycling in oligotrophic regional aquifers near the Tono Uranium Mine, Japan as inferred from δ13C and Δ14C values of in situ phospholipid fatty acids and carbon sources

“…The geology, geochemistry, and hydrology of the Tono Uranium Deposit and surrounding area have been extensively described (Yoshida et al, 1994;Kanai et al, 1998;Iwatsuki and Yoshida, 1999;Iwatsuki et al, 2001Iwatsuki et al, , 2005Takahashi et al, 2002;Arthur et al, 2006;Sasao et al, 2006). The deposit is located in central Japan $40 km NE of Nagoya at the base of a 150 m deep sedimentary sequence.…”
