Abstract
In three pine-birch stands located 1.5, 6, and 18 km from the Chernoby l nuclear power plant (CNPP), the authors studied accumulation of Ca-1 34+137 and Sr-90 by catkins and leaves of European birch. Changes in t he concentration of these radionuclides in structural elements of the catkins and in the leaves were shown in different years, and quantitat ive characteristics of the radionuclides' passage from the soil into g enerative organs and leaves are given.
