Isotope-Specific Remediation Media and Systems

The scientist behind this work is Fluid Tech's Chief Technology Officer. Mark S. Denton led media technology at Kurion, Inc. during the Fukushima Daiichi response (the affiliation printed on the paper), and the isotope-specific media science documented here is the foundation of Fluid Tech's WTZ® and FHA products. The media and systems in this paper were Kurion's; Fluid Tech's current products are described under Ion Exchange Media. The summary below is for reference only; full details are in the cited paper.

01 Overview

While most of the outcome of the Fukushima disaster was negative, the paper records some extremely valuable lessons learned and new emergency-recovery technologies developed, including isotope-specific remediation media and the systems built around them.

Summary written from the published abstract. It reproduces no proprietary data, methods, or results.

02 Why it matters

Media plus system: selective media only work inside a vessel, skid, and process designed for them. This paper covers both.
Emergency-ready: the recovery technologies described were proven under crisis conditions.
The same design philosophy: modular, media-based isotope removal, later patented by Dr. Denton as the mobile and multi-vessel systems listed in this library.
