The project focused on the impacts of in situ recovery (ISR) uranium mining ongroundwater quality in South Texas. Uranium is a major groundwater constituent at ISR miningsites and there is need for more effective post-mining restoration strategies. One promisingapproach is to add reductants to reduce soluble U(VI) species to insoluble U(IV) species
