Abstract

The effect of the application of ammonium-ferric-hexacyano-ferrate (AFCF), effective in reducing soil-to-plant radiocaesium transfer, on radiostrontium transfer was tested for ryegrass grown under greenhouse conditions on sandy soil for 310 days. Identical radiostrontium transfer factors (9.4 kg kg^-1) were obtained with 0 or 10 g AFCF m^-2 applied. Amending AFCF to planted or uncovered sandy or loamy soils in quantities of up to 100 g AFCF m^-2 did not result in detectable levels of free cyanide. Negative side effects of AFCF application to soil are hence unlikely.
