Description
Our aim was to study the uptake of plutonium by trees, undervegetation and some wild foods. The ratio of 238Pu/239,240Pu in soil samples was determined for comparisons of the fallout origin. In twelve years the Chernobyl derived plutonium has not reached the mineral soil. This refers to a very slow downward migration in podsolic soil. The study confirmed also the low Pu uptake by vegetation and an insignificant contribution to human doses through wild foods. (au)
