Summary
In Germany, the last nuclear power plant was decommissioned in 2023, and contaminated building materials and soil must be disposed of during the process. To avoid expensive disposal in deep geological repositories, phytoremediation is being investigated, in particular the ability of sunflowers to absorb radionuclides from contaminated soil. The present study investigates the uptake of Cs-137 and Co-60 in sunflowers. The results show that uptake depends on the growth cycle of the sunflowers.
