Abstract: Based on the probabilistic approach for describing the possible values of the transition coefficients and the content of 129I in soil and plants for areas contaminated by Chornobyl radioactive fallouts, a methodology and express-method for predicting 129I content in meadow motley grass without direct measurements in the soil is proposed.

Keywords: iodine isotopes 127I and 129I, biogenic flows, migration, meadow motley grass, forecast, accumulation coefficient.
