2.1 Introduction

The fast‐growing human population requires advanced technologies for their sophisticated life that demands electrical power. The production of electricity and the use of nuclear weapons produce large amounts of radioactive wastes. Unfortunate disasters or the nuclear fuel cycle in the nuclear power plants discharges large amounts of radionuclides into the environment, especially in water bodies [1], which need advanced technologies to clean up. There are ...
