Abstract

The study used the radio-analytical technique (Neutron Activation Analysis), besides the other advanced chemical technique, which was inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy (ICP-MS), in order to evaluate the bioaccumulation factor (BF), of different trace elements inside the collected green macro algal samples. The results showed that BF results were based on the algal selectivity of each analyzed trace element. The study recommended the using of Ulva fasciata, as a bio-filter of nuclear cooling water system (mitigation tool), due to its selective absorption ability for certain trace elements such as; Th, Cs &Sr.
