Radionuclide Concentrations in Foor and the Environment - Chapter 5 pptx

... the behavior of long-lived radionuclides in soil. Factors in uencing the behavior of radionuclides in soils are mainly the chemical properties of the radioelement and the characteristics of the ... temperature, and soil management. Finally, the pH value is an important parameter controlling the kinetics of elements in soil and consequently the kinet- ics of radi...
