Abstract
  • Greenhouse studies were conducted to determine interception, absorption, and translocation values for foliar applied ³⁶Cl. Foliar interception and uptake of contaminated irrigation water by crops is a major pathway for the transport of radionuclides to human beings in scenarios relevant to the waste disposal community. Performance assessments of many repositories that predict doses to people from long- term geological disposal of radioactive waste are equipped to consider foliar interception and uptake by crops on an element and crop specific basis in their predictions, but crop and element specific data does not exist in the literature to justify the choice of parameter values in these models. ³⁶Cl is among the isotopes for which there is a lack of data and has recently been predicted to be among the largest contributors to dose at the time of peak dose from many repositories. Reported here are ³⁶Cl foliar interception, absorption, and translocation parameters for three crops: a root vegetable -radishes, a fruit - beans, and a grain - wheat.
