Migration and chemical availability of ¹³⁷Cs and⁹⁰Sr in the long-term was studied on a36-yr-old deposition experiment on pastureconsisting of a sandy soil and a clay soil,contaminated in 1961 with radionuclides in aqueoussolution. Comparisons were made with a study of thesame soils in 1967. Soil samples to 55 cm depth wereanalysed for ¹³⁷Cs and ⁹⁰Sr to establish thevertical distribution. Chemical availability wasstudied using sequential extractions with H₂O,NH₄Ac, NH₂OH·HCl, H₂O₂ andHNO₃. Both ¹³⁷Cs and ⁹⁰Sr were found atall depths in both soil types. Cs-137 waspredominantly retained within the upper 10 cm (70%)in both soils. For ⁹⁰Sr, the soils differedsignificantly, retention within the upper 10 cm was27% in sandy soil and 47% in clay soil. Migrationsince 1967 was faster in the sandy soil for bothnuclides. More than 95% of ¹³⁷Cs was bound inthe acid-digestible and residual fractions in bothsoils. The residual fraction was larger in clay soil.⁹⁰Sr was highly available in both soils. Noresidual fraction was found, and the easilyexchangeable fraction was 63–75%.  相似文献
