The removal of radiouropium (Eu‐152, 4) is practically complete at the p H values greater than 4 by the seven clay deposits studied. The chemical properties of the radioeuropium rather than the nature of the sorbing matrices are the determining factor in its decontamination. The effect of competition toward radioeuropium uptake from solutions by, and extraction of sorbed radioeuropium from, Yellow and Red soil by various cations (0.01 N ) have been studied.
