Radionuclide uptake by plants

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/6469159· OSTI ID:6469159
; ;

Natural radionuclides are always present in the environment and, together with those made by man in the past thirty or more years, differentially move through geochemical and biological cycles. The general principles governing the uptake, transport, and redistribution in plants of radionuclides are reviewed. Also plant uptake of selected radioisotopes of U, Ra, Th, Sr, I, Cs, Tc, Np, Pu, Am, and Cm are discussed in some detail. These isotopes were selected because of their potential usefulness or harmfulness to man in nuclear power generation and in other contexts.
