A method of reducing radiation emitted from a radioactive source material involves mixing the radioactive material with mica. Uranium ore is a radioactive source material which when mixed with mica significantly reduces the amount of radiation emitted. The radioactive source material and the mica may be ground to similar sized small pieces and mixed at a one to one ratio. The radioactive source material and the mica may be consistently mixed together. In the alternative the mica may be placed around the outside of the radioactive source material. The mica may contain manganese.

A radioactive decontamination device and a radioactive decontamination method are capable of efficiently and overall reducing the radioactivity level of a radioactive contaminant. The radioactive decontamination device for reducing the radioactivity level of a carbonized radioactive contaminant (B) having a radioactive material includes a stirring container (41) for stirring the carbonized radioactive contaminant (B), and a discharge feeder (42) for discharging the stirred carbonized radioactive contaminant (B) which is disposed below the stirring container (41). The stirring container (41) is provided with a nozzle (45) for spraying an aqueous solution (44) containing photosynthetic bacteria over the carbonized radioactive contaminant (B) to be fed into the stirring container (41).

A reactor arrangement for performing, by means of at least one solid reaction member(s), a biological or chemical transformation, or physical or chemical trapping from, or release of agents to, a fluidic media in a continuous process. The arrangement comprises at least one reactor with a cylindrical reaction vessel (11) in which at least one reactor a transformation device (100) has been mounted. The vessel (11) comprises at least one inlet port (30) in the vicinity of its bottom wall (18) and at least one outlet port (40) arranged in the vicinity of its upper end portion. Each inlet port (30) is connected to a fluid supply member (300) configured to be submerged below the fluid surface level in a pool or a pond. The fluid supply member (300) comprises at least one inlet opening (301) configured to continuously supply a fluid from the pool or the pond to the vessel (11). Each outlet port (40) is configured to continuously let out the fluid from the vessel (11) to the pool or the pond via the outlet port (40). Further a method of using the reactor arrangement is provided.
