Washington State University chemistry professor Sue Clark, along with other WSU students and postdoctorates, and an investigator with the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory, spearheaded a study that offered an alternative for studying soil. Dr. Clark's research looked at the chemistry that controls uranium and plutonium and their separating into environmental particles. The study developed a locator system using a fission track so that particles containing uranium and plutonium can be located for further testing.
