Radionuclide Monitoring using Artificial Mussels

Recently, we have successfully developed the Artificial Mussel as an effective tool for monitoring radionuclides in the aquatic environment, which overcomes the longstanding problem and difficulties of radionuclide monitoring in the natural environment. In collaboration with Seoul National University (South Korea) and Xiamen University (China), this collaborative project aimed to use this novel technology to monitor radionuclides wastewater discharged from Fukushima Japan in Korea and Chinese coastal waters.
