i was watching a documentary about the red rain in India when the host mentioned as a side note that they had found micro organisms living on the burned out fuel rods in highly alcaline waters in the nuclear waste deposit.
Does anyone know the specifics of this discovery?
what I am wondering is this.
is it a new type of organism?
was it created in the nuclear waste or was it normal extremeophile germs that got into the waste and didnt mind living there?
the host also mentioned that they were eating the metals of the fuel rods.
i have this notion that radiation was 1 of the ingredients for the first life to develop and would like to find out more about this.
sadly i have found no mention of it on the internet and was hoping someone could point me in the right direction.
