Objective
Soil to plant transfer factors for radionuclides and the speciation of radionuclides in plants and foodstuffs have been studied.
The uptake of americium-241 by vegetation growing on mineral soils of pH greater than 7 could be significantly increased by the application of herbicides containing glyphosate.
The uptake of plutonium-239, americium-241 and strontium-90 to barley from the 3 principal agricultural soil types, loam, peat and sand, decreases with time after contamination whereas the uptake of caesium-137 may actually increase with time in predominantly peaty soils.
Soil solution has proved to be a useful medium for studying the transfer of radionuclides from soil to plants. A comprehensive chemical analysis of soil solution is required, followed by more detailed speciation studies for polyvalent radionuclides.
1. SOIL-TO-PLANT TRANSFER FACTORS FOR RADIONUCLIDES.
2. THE SPECIATION OF RADIONUCLIDES IN PLANTS AND FOODSTUFFS AND THE INFLUENCE OF THIS ON THEIR GASTROINTESTINAL UPTAKE.
