Abstract
In previous studies, persistently high concentrations of Cs-137 in Eri ophorum vaginatum plants in the UK uplands have been attributed partly to the efficiency with which they remobilize minerals. The partitioni ng in the shoots of E. vaginatum of Cs-137 from environmental sources was investigated and found to be the same as that of mobile nutrients, inferring similar relative mobility and remobilisation.
