Description

The 134Cs and 85Sr uptake by Rye-grass is studied in a pot experiment. The influence of some important factors like type of soil, applied chemicals and level of soil contamination is examined. The radioactivity measurements are carried out separately in each sample collected at different time. The following conclusions are drown: 1. Radioactivity of the first samples of Rye-grass are lowest in case of Chernozem soil compared to Podzolic and Meadow soils. 2. The applied chemicals (zeolite and Ca-bentonite) significantly decrease radioactivity of all plant samples compared to the control. 3. Radioactivity of grass samples increases parallelly to the increase in soil contamination level. (author)
