Abstract

<jats:p>Biodegradation of citrate occurred under LLW repository relevant conditions with Ni and U present. Citrate biodegradation led to the formation of insoluble Ni sulfides or nanocrystalline U(<jats:sc>iv</jats:sc>)–phosphate and may promote Ni/U retention in LLW repositories.</jats:p>
