Mobility of caesium-137, sodium and potassium in the natural environment in podzolic gray and chernozem medium-loamy, sward podzolic sandy soils and chernozem has been studied. Durability of fixation of caesium-137 increases in a number of soils: sward-podzolic sandy, podzolic loamy soils, chernozem. Caesium-137 concentration in agricultural plants is reduced along with the increase of caesium-137 fixation in soils and increase of the level of metabolic potassium. Coefficients of transition of metabolic caesium-137 by potassium and sodium, and of sodium by potassium. The mentioned above coefficients can be used for the prediction of caesium-137 cumulation in plants.
