Abstract
Vegetation from sites within and around the restricted area of West Cumbria, initially visited in late May 1986, has been re-sampled and analysed for 137Cs activity. At most sites the 137 activity of vegetation has declined to less than 30% of the 1986 value. However, there are areas where the caesium activity still warrants the continuation of restrictions on the movement and slaughter of sheep. Those sites where the 137Cs activity of vegetation has remained comparatively heigh were found to have low pH, organic soils.
