CDC Radiation Emergencies Radioisotope Brief: Cesium-137
Apr 04, 2018· Small amounts of Cs-137 are incorporated into Lucite disks, rods, and seeds. Larger Cs-137 sources are enclosed in lead containers (such as long tubes that are closed at each end) or small round metal containers. If the lead containers of Cs-137 are opened, the substance inside looks like a white powder and may glow.
Characterizing vertical migration of 137Cs in organic
Cesium-137 migration from the organic layer to the underlying mineral soil was represented by a two-component exponential model. Cesium-137 migration from the organic layer was faster than that observed in European forests, suggesting that the mobility and bioavailability of 137 Cs could be suppressed rapidly in Japanese forests.

Cesium an overview ScienceDirect Topics
Since cesium ion is strongly sorbed on soils, its migration is rather slow. For these reasons, Cs-137 can be applied to study soil formation and erosion. In these studies, the activity of Cs-137 already present in the soil from the nuclear pollutions is measured. For more information see Section 8.8.
Cesium-137 Cs PubChem
Cesium Cs 137 is a radioactive isotope of cesium with an atomic mass of 139 and potential application in radiotherapy. Cesium Cs 137 is prevalent due to its spontaneous production, which occurs as a result of nuclear fission of other radioactive materials, such as uranium and plutonium.This radionuclide has a relatively long half-life, 30 years, and decays by emitting beta particles.
