Processes Affecting the Uptake of Radioactive Species into the Environment

B. Salbu and D.H. Oughton

Information on the source term and the nature of radionuclide species as well as their release rates interactions and transformation processes that influence the mobility, biological uptake and transfer of radionuclides into the food chain is essential for the assessment of short-term and long-term consequences of radionuclides released into different ecosystems. The mobility and transfer of radionuclides in an ecosystem is highly dependent on the physico-chemical form of the deposited or released radionuclides. The importance of investigating the formation of radionuclide species and the processes influencing the mobility and biological uptake are species considered here. As a major fraction of the deposited radionuclides in the vicinity of the Chernobyl reactor was associated with uranium oxide fuel particle. Most emphasis will be put on the impact of radioactive particles entering different ecosystems.
