Microbial enrichment and gene functional categories revealed on the walls of a spent fuel pool of a nuclear power plant.

Microbial enrichment and gene functional categories revealed on the walls of a spent fuel pool of a nuclear power plant.

Microorganisms developing in the liner of the spent fuel pool (SFP) and the fuel transfer channel (FTC) of a Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) can form high radiation resistant biofilms and cause corrosion.
