Abstract: Describes diverse conditions of accumulation of radionuclides in agricultural plants, depending on various ways of irrigation with contaminated water on the plants: by rain, furrow, drip and intersoil. Two ways of decontaminating plants: 1- washing after contamination, 2- cleaning. Experiments with radionuclides 134Cs, 65Zn, 115m Cd and 238U.
