[Soil sorption and transfer from it to plant of the radioactive and stable isotopes of chemical elements: methodology and experimental approach].

The adsorption of pair nuclides 60Co/Co and 65Zn/Zn by solid phase and their availability to plants were studied in soil suspension conditions and in the sod podzolic soil under controlled moisture. The situation when the radionuclide in constant activity is entered to system (surface water, soil) with different heavy metal contamination has been modeled. Was observed that soil contamination with heavy metal Co (Zn) significantly reduce sorption of the radionuclide 60Co (65Zn) by solid phase. As a result, the activity concentration of the 60Co or 65Zn in soil solution and, therefore, their mobility and potential availability to plants increases in 2-4 times with the total metal concentration increasing. The difference between two elements is that high Co concentration increase root uptake of the 60Co, whereas soil contamination with Zn reduce activity of 65Zn in the 14-days barley plants that may reflects diverse plant necessity of two elements and more important role of the isotopic exchange effect in the case of Zn.
