Abstract
The content of available forms of Cs-137 in the soils polluted during the Chernobyl accident varies from 4.2 to 23.3%, depending on the soil type. The uptake of Cs by crops dropped by 2-3 times during the perio d of 1987-1993. Two values of the residence half-life of the Cs-137 co ntent in grassland plants are revealed: the first constitutes 2.0-2.2 years, and the second (slower) varies from 4 to 12 years.
