Incorporation of natural radionuclides and rare earth elements into a salt tolerant plant

A highly salt tolerant shrub, samphire (Halosarcia halocnemoides), found growing in the soild alkaline residues in an evaporation pond at a former uranium and monoazite treatment plant, has been analysed for natural radionuclides and rate earths. The data obtained have been copared with that for plants from the local natural environment. Vegetation-to-soil concentration ratios have been determined. The radionuclide concentration ratios for samples from the contaminated site are similar to those from the natural environment. Significant differences have been noted in the case of the rare earth elements with an apparent preferential incorporation of the light rare earth elements into the plant growing in the chemical residues.
