Soil contamination with radiocaesium (Cs) has a long‐term radiological impact because it is
readily transferred through food chains to human beings. Plant uptake is the major pathway …

A model predicting plant uptake of radiocaesium based on soil characteristics is described.
Three soil parameters required to determine radiocaesium bioavailability in soils are …

Most of radioactive nuclides emitted into the air eventually fall to the ground, after then 80%
of cesium fallout is fixed in soil and the other 20% is mobile as exchangeable fraction. It is …

The environmental behavior of radioactive cesium (RCs) in contaminated areas is generally
governed by soil and sediment components and natural weathering conditions. In this study …
