Abstract
This paper presents observations made on the behavior of radioactive cesium in laboratory conditions. 134Cs-loaded aerosols are generated from UO2 pellets in an electric oven and allowed to deposit on small spruce trees. The transfer of radioactivity to the plants has been studied. In another series of experiments, trees are submitted to artificial rain contaminated by the radioactive aerosols. The two modes of contamination are compared.
