Abstract
The present paper shall briefly overview the past of the Romanian uranium industry and its current state. Then it will present the features of the radioactive contaminated mine waters and the treatment methods used for their decontamination. The advantages and the disadvantages of the decontamination method will be pointed out. The main updates concerning the calixarenic derivatives behavior towards uranium will be presented.
