    Abstract Image

    Since the first human release of radionuclides on Earth at the end of the Second World War, impact assessments have been implemented. Radionuclides are now ubiquitous, and the impact of local accidental release on human activities, although of low probability, is of tremendous social and economic consequences. Although radionuclide inventories (at various scales) are essential as input data for impact assessment, crucial information on physicochemical speciation is lacking. Among the metallic radionuclides of interest, cobalt-60 is one of the most important activation products generated in the nuclear industry. In this work, a marine model ecosystem has been defined because seawater and more generally marine ecosystems are final receptacles of metal pollution. A multistep approach from quantitative uptake to understanding of the accumulation mechanism has been implemented with the sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus. In a well-controlled aquarium, the day-by-day uptake of cobalt and its quantification in different compartments of the sea urchin were monitored with various conditions of exposure by combining ICP-OES analysis and γ spectrometry. Cobalt is mainly distributed following the rating intestinal tract ≫ gonads > shell spines. Cobalt speciation in seawater and inside the gonads and the intestinal tract was determined using extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS). The cobalt inside the gonads and the intestinal tract is mainly complexed by the toposome, the main protein in the sea urchin P. lividus. Complexation with purified toposome was characterized and a complexation site combining EXAFS and AIMD (ab initio molecular dynamics) was proposed implying monodentate carboxylates.
