Using atomic-scale electron microscopy and isotopic analyses, we revealed embedded fuel nanofragments containing uranium and plutonium within these particles.

Our research revealed nanoscale sequestration of U, As, and Ra through ferrihydrite–silica aggregation and fungal biogenic manganese oxides.
By integrating geochemistry and geomicrobiology, we clarify natural attenuation mechanisms relevant to nuclear legacy management.
