IHSS&IWA26 / BRNO / CZECHIA / 23–28 August 2026 BOOK OF ABSTRACTS 104 NOM and Aquatic Systems Thursday, 27 August 2026 / Hall C loadings and Stern–Volmer constants. SHAP (SHapley Additive exPlanations) values were used to identify the molecular descriptors that most strongly drive each fluorescence endmember and its metal-binding affinity. The four endmembers comprised one marine humic-like, two terrestrial humiclike, and one protein-like component.[2] CMTF and SHAP analyses consistently linked the strongly Eu³⁺-binding terrestrial humic-like endmember to highly oxygenated, aromatic CRAMlike molecules with elevated AI moₔ and O/C, while the weakly binding marine humic-like endmember was associated with aliphatic, lower-O compounds consistent with a connate-water origin. UO2²⁺ showed binding patterns that diverged from Eu³⁺, highlighting metalspecific molecular selectivity. The combined data fusion–ML pipeline thus provides a transferable, interpretable framework for connecting spectroscopic signatures and molecular composition of deep groundwater DOM to its role in radionuclide transport and supports more mechanistic safety assessment of HLW geological disposal.
