Abstract
Nowadays, metallic mining activities also produce large amounts of radioactive waste. Radionuclide contaminants pose serious problems to biological systems, due to chemical toxicity and radiological effects. Hence, it is essential to achieve effective reclamation of contaminated. The research results of the article show that there are currently several methods of treating radioactive pollution such as: isolating radioactive wastes in artificial synthetic stones and then burying them beneath the bed. soil, using nano ceramic materials ... In particular, the use of vetiver grass has the effect of stabilizing soil texture, handling radioactive contaminated soil, saving costs, and economic efficiency is necessary. Vetiver grass is a highly developed root plant that grows very fast and eats very deep, and sticks to the ground. They have good drought and water resistance properties. Their roots can penetrate into the ground up to 3.6m on good ground. Very large and long root system is a good condition for the growth and growth of bacteria and fungi, helping the process of decomposition and absorption of organic matter, nitrogen, phosphorus, heavy metals, and radioactive contamination.
