Micans participates in EU project

2017-08-31

Micans participates in the EU Horizon2020 project named “Microbiology in nuclear waste disposal” (http://www.mind15.eu/). Bentonite clay will be used as a buffer material in engineered barrier systems which will contain, protect and surround nuclear waste canisters in geological disposal concepts.

In the end of June 2017, Micans delivered the planned project report on “Bacterial activity in compacted bentonites”. The report discusses variables that influence bacterial viability, cultivability, and metabolic activity in bentonite clays. Read more here.
