Abstract
The evaluation of radiation exposure in 14 species of herbaceous plants from the East-Ural Radioactive Trace (EURT) zone was performed, using the ERICA Tool, v. 1.2. Recent (up to 2015) levels of radionuclide activity concentration were measured in soil and vegetative plant mass. 239,240Pu content was used for the first time to estimate external dose rates for herbaceous plant species along the pollution gradient. In addition, a new approach to assessing the geometry of objects was adopted, including not only aboveground but also underground plant organs. This improved approach to the evaluation of radiation exposure confirms previous findings that herbaceous plant populations currently exist under low-level chronic exposure in the EURT area. This reassessment based on new data suggests a 48–977-fold increase in the total dose rate per plant organism at the most polluted site compared to background areas. The highest capacity for the transfer of 90Sr and 137Cs was observed in Taraxacum officinale and Plantago major. In these species, the total dose rate per plant exceeded 150 μGy h−1 due to 90Sr + 137Cs + 239,240Pu radionuclide anthropogenic pollution in the EURT zone. All estimated total dose rates per plant were below the dose rate screening value of 400 μGy h−1.
