Abstract
Technetium from a number of sources has the potential for entering soils in initially volatile or solubilised forms [1,2]. Several assessments [3] have suggested that subsequent soil solubility and uptake by plants will be important factors in governing Tc radiation dose to man. However, prediction of Tc behaviour in soils and availability to plants is complicated by its complex chemistry relative to soil processes.
