In this abstract, we use the same databases considered in the previous study (Part I), with the objective of developing a statistical descriptive analysis of radionuclide soil to plant transfer values for different matching plant-soil combinations. In considering the various soils, they were classified by texture as follows : clay (C); loam (L); sand (S); silt (Z); peat (P); clay-loam (CL); clay-sand (CS); and loam-sand (LS). For plants the following groups were identified: cereals, rice, leafy and non-leafy vegetables, legumes, root crops, tubers, fruits, grasses and natural pastures, arable crops, and animal pasture species.
