Abstract

The nitric acid method is the most effective for processing plant raw material containing radionuclides into technically clean cellulose with an acceptable level of radioactivity. This creates the basis for profitable reshaping of regions undergoing radioactive contamination for cultivation of annual plants as raw material for cellulose processing.
