Abstract
In 1943 White Oak Lake was constructed to serve as a final setting basin for the low-level waste effluent from the present Oak Ridge National Laboratory. In 1955 the dam was opened and the lake drained slowly so as to leave the alluvial material wbich had settled to the bottom. Primary vegetation started to grow on the area in the spring of 1958 and by mid-Jane most of the area was covered. A survey was made of the uptake of strontium-90 and cesium-137 by this vegetation. Properties of the soil affecting plant uptake are discussed. (C.H.)
