MOVEMENT OF STRONTIUM AND CAESIUM IN SOILS AND ITS SIGNIFICANCE IN STUDIES ON THE CONTAMINATION OF FOOD CHAINS

Journal Article · · Colloq. Intern. Retention Migration Ions Radioactifs Sols, Saclay
OSTI ID:4075744
ABS>Experimental results are given of a long term study on the migration and fixation of strontium and cesium in several types of soil The investigations were designed to approximate to field conditions in which the soil remained undisturbed by cultivation. The effects of the addition of nutrients and of a permanent crop of ryegrass grown on the artificially contaminated soils were also examined. The relevance of processes of migration and fixation to assessments of the uptake of strontium and cesium by crop plants is considered in the light of field experiments. (auth)
