What is Cesium? • Earth

Cesium has at least 39 isotopes. It has the second most known isotopes of all the elements (francium has the most). The atomic masses of these isotopes range from 112 to 151. Only one of these isotopes (Cs-133) is naturally stable. Almost all the other isotopes have half-lives ranging from a few days to just a few seconds or less.

Nuclear Fission Fragments

Cesium-137 . An inevitable byproduct of nuclear fission is the production of fission products which are highly radioactive. Cesium-137 and strontium-90 are the most dangerous radioisotopes to the environment in terms of their long-term effects. Their intermediate half-lives of about 30 years suggests that they are not only highly radioactive but that they …

Backgrounder on Radioactive Waste | NRC.gov

Radioactive isotopes eventually decay, or disintegrate, to harmless materials. Some isotopes decay in hours or even minutes, but others decay very slowly. Strontium-90 and cesium-137 have half-lives of about 30 years (half the radioactivity will decay in 30 years). Plutonium-239 has a half-life of 24,000 years.

Caesium

Cesium (Cs, atomic number 55) is an alkali metal having 40 isotopes, ranging in mass from 112 to 151. Of these, the fission product cesium-137 (half-life 30.17 years) is of greatest concern. Cesium-137 is one of the nuclides most responsible for the radioactivity of used reactor fuel and high-level waste (with the other being strontium-90).
