Data are summarized from a study of the uptake of strontium-90 by plants growing in the radionuclide and controlled concentrations of calcium. It was concluded that high levels of soil calcium and potassium decrease strontium-90 and cesium-137 uptake by plants. The depth of feeding of the plant was also found to be an important factor in the natural absorption of radionuclides arising from fall-out from the soil. (C.H.)
