OSTI ID:4258298
Presented at the Hearings on Fallout Before the Joint Committee on Atomic Energy, May 5-8, 1959. The fission products contained in fall-out particles enter the food chain of man primarily through plants and soils. Some particles are deposited initially on the plants, the remainder on the soil. Mechanisms of intake of fission products by plants, reactions with soils, and land reclamation and decontamination measures are discussed. (auth)
