The next slido shovs 4 test of the possible explanation
of this wptaize and hero (indicating), as you vomembor, is an ineros

another enperinent in which the amount of icdine was varied and
I-131 was tested; and thore was an uptat:o of iodine by the plant.

This particular test was made to determine whether this
mignt be due to tonicity of the root coll mombrane and allowing
tho miterial to pour throvech it more roadily.

If this were truo,

it should b3 possible to create the toxicity byone elenent and
cause another one toe pour in, and wa tested then the toxicity with

iodine and the toxicity factor os strontiug, and, under these
circunstances, there seers to be a marked decrease in tho effect

of strontium by the toxicity of dodinea.

Aprarently this is not |

best guess -- and it is sinply a guess -- is that you will have
varying absorption in tho soil.
