Abstract

Regularities of radionuclide accumulation and distribution in individual organs of the plant from radiocesium contaminated soil according to different vegetation periods by a widespread weed throughout Georgia -Chenopodium album L. is discussed in the paper. General localization of the radioisotope in the organs of the experimental plant was shown by radioautography method.
Radioactivity characteristics of both soil and study plant organs has been determined by spectrometric analysis. It is concluded that the presented Chenopodium album L. can be used as a marker test system to study the penetration and distribution of radionuclides from the soil in the bodies of wild-growing weeds, which in turn creates a precondition for implementation of effective cleaning of contaminated areas by radionuclide and phytoremediation measures.
