[ RadSafe ] Radioactity Cured by Capsule - in the news item

[Neil, David M]

Here's a more detailed version of the article:
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/03/120327215559.htm 

It is a metal oxide adsorber that captures the actinide series. So the radioactivity "goes" into the capsule which is then presumably discarded. No mention of capacity that I noticed in the article.

"Radioactivity Cured by Capsule"
Snipped: "Scientists have found a way to remove radioactive material from milk, juice.... etc....  Apblett said he was experimenting with methods of removing uranium and heavy metals from drinking water."

So my question is: where does the uranium/radioactivity go?
