Analogies and differences between Cs-137 and stable K (K-39) bioavailability for crops growing on radioactively contaminated lands are still under discussion.
To clarify the peculiarities of Cs-137 and K root uptake and the elements distribution over the parts of plant biomass the field observations within post-Chernobyl Plavsky radioactive hot spot (Tula region, Russia) have been examined.

To avoid the difference in Cs-137 and K
content in soils of different plots and to
appreciate the biological peculiarities of
individual crops the transfer factor (TF)
values (the ratio of the activities for Cs-137
and concentrations for K between vegetation
and in soil) were calculated.

As a whole, TFK were several orders more than
TFCs-137 that stressed the biogenic nature of
potassium and the xenophobic nature of caesium.
Among the investigated agricultural crops and
meadow plant communities TFK were minimal for
maize and barley, middle – for rape, dry and wet
meadows, and maximal – for potatoes (17.4).
TFCs-137 were minimal for rape, middle – for wheat,
barley and potatoes, and maximal – for maize, dry
and wet meadows.

An accounting of Cs-137 and stable K distribution among above- and belowground parts of plant biomass clearly demonstrated the importance of biological characteristics in root uptake of the elements: wheat, barley and maize (Gramíneae family) were characterized by elevated Cs-137 activities in belowground parts (12-14 times higher than in shoots), and rape (Brassicaceae family) and potatoes (Solanaceae family) were characterized by homogenous distribution of the radionuclide over plant biomass, whereas K concentrations in aboveground parts of plants were 1.5-10 times greater than in belowground parts of plants for all investigated crops.

Conclusion
Root uptake of the elements was characterized by different peculiarities. Thus, Cs-137 and stable K were difficult if not impossible to consider as biochemical analogists in root uptake from radioactively contaminated soils.
