ABOVEGROUND PLANT PARTS AS A PATHWAY FOR ENTRY OF FISSION PRODUCTS INTO THE FOOD CHAIN WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO St$sup 89-90$ AND Cs$sup 13$$sup 7$

OSTI ID:4641668
Paths by which fission products may enter the human diet are reviewed with emphasis on mechanisms of absorption and distribution by aboveground plant parts. Results are presented from a number of tracer studies on the absorption and subsequent distribution in plants of fission products deposited on fruits, leaves, and stems, the recovery of Sr/sup 90/ and Cs/sup 137/ in fruits and seeds following foliar application, the comparative absorption of Sr/sup 89/ by various plant species, redistribution of absorbed fission products during plant development, and the loss of fission products from leaves and fruits by leaching by rainfall.
