The Migration of 90Sr in Soils (in German)

· Naturwissenschaften (West Germany)
In order to determine the extent of the leaching of Sr/sup 90/ in soils, samples of both farm and pasture land were taken at depths of 5 to 15 cm, 25 to 35 cm, and 45 to 55 cm and the strontium concentration was determined. The results are tabulated and show that in the 5 to 15 cm layer the Sr/sup 90/ in the farm land is higher by a factor of 2.5 than in the meadow land. In all the samples studied, no Sr/sup 90/ was found in the 45 to 55 cm layer. The Sr/sup 90/ concentration in the 5 to 15 cm layer of farm land was higher by a factor of 8.0 than in the 25 to 35 cm layer. The factor was 9.0 for meadow lands. From these results it is shown that the vertical migration of Sr/sup 90/ is very low and the contamination of ground water should not be feared. (J.S.R.)
