title: [Man-made radionuclides and their accumulation by plants of different taxonomic groups from the soils of the eastern ural radioactive trace].
abstract: Investigations of the spatial and vertical distribution of 90Sr, 137Cs and 239, 240Pu in the soils of the Eastern Ural Radioactive Trace (EURT) and accumulation of these radionuclides by plants were carried out in 2003-2011. Investigations showed that the spatial distribution of the radionuclides with increasing distances from the epicenter of the accident is satisfactorily approximated by the exponential function. During the post-accidental period the essential amount of radionuclides is located in the 15-20 cm root layer of the soil. Uptake by plants of 90Sr is determined, first of all, by the level of the soil contamination. For 137Cs, reliable differences in its accumulation ability between representatives of the higher plants and lower ones are remained in the whole gradient of contamination.
