Field tests began August 24, 2003 (Day 1). The work included an above ground treatment system to remove nitric acid, Ca and Al from groundwater and a nested well system to test uranium reduction and immobilization. We have now performed field tests of biostimulation for over 404 days, and the work continues. We have achieved the major goals of the field tests i.e. bio-reduction of U(VI) to U(IV) and immobilization of uranium in situ
