Description

Concentration factors for Cs-137 in a 'soil-plant-honey' system of a mountainous region are estimated. The activity of Cs-137 in the samples of soils, meadow plants and honey was determined on a HP Ge detector by gamma spectrometry. The total standard error of the method was 15%. The 'soil-plant' Cs-137 concentration factor is in the range of 0,1-2,0 due to type of soil, activity of Cs-137 and plant itself. The 'plant-honey' concentration factor is of order 0.001 regardless the type of meadow flowers and therefore the Cs-137 activity in honey is within the narrow range of 2 Bq/kg. (author)
