Description

Measurements of fallout-derived 137Cs in soils were made in the Valley of Ptolemais, North Greece after the Chernobyl nuclear reactor accident. The 137Cs concentrations ranged between 290 Bq kg-1 and 7670 Bq kg-1. It was found that the 137Cs concentration is inversely proportional to 40K concentration or potassium content of soils. Cesium-137 transfer coefficients from soil to plants (grass) ranged from 0.02 to 0.2
