There was a direct correlation between the extent of Fe(III) reduction and the accumulation of dissolved&lt;sup&gt;226&lt;/sup&gt;Ra. In sterile tailings in which Fe(III) was not reduced, there was negligible leaching of&lt;sup&gt;226&lt;/sup&gt;Ra. The behavior of Ba was similar to that of Ra in inoculated and sterile systems. These results demonstrate that under anaerobic conditions, microbial reduction of Fe(III) may result in the release of dissolved&lt;sup&gt;226&lt;/sup&gt;Ra from uranium mill tailings.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</dc:description>
