Post-accident radiocesium uptake in eastern Oregon wheat crops : A preliminary estimate using a modified "PATHWAY" model

Creator:

Palotay, Joshua A.

Abstract:

An experimental environmental uptake model was developed for the purpose of estimating the final harvest concentration of contaminant following an acute accidental release of radiocesium onto an eastern Oregon winter wheat crop. The system was developed using the PATHWAY environmental uptake model as presented by Whicker and Kirchner (1987) for...
