Caesium-137 (137 55 Cs), or radiocaesium, is a radioactive isotope of caesium that is formed as one of the more common fission products by the nuclear fission of uranium-235 and other fissionable isotopes in nuclear reactors and nuclear weapons.Trace quantities also originate from natural fission of uranium-238.It is among the most problematic of the short-to-medium-lifetime fission products.

The radioactive isotopes have a wide range of half-lives ranging from about 0.57 seconds (cesium-114) to about 3X10+6 years (cesium-135). The radioactive isotopes cesium-137 and cesium-134 are significant fission products because of their high fission yield, their long half-lives, and their biochemical similarity to potassium.

To elucidate the mechanism of cesium removal by aqueous cleaning, micro-PIXE analyses were performed on rice straw samples that had been exposed to a spray of 5000 ppm cesium carbonate solution to simulate the wet deposition of radioactive cesium. Since the radioactive cesium was hard to detect by PIXE, therefore the stable cesium was added.

The initial response stabilized the cesium source and ensured no additional contamination could occur, but remediation in the building proved to be a long-term effort. The radioactive material released in the accident had to be cleaned up to rigorous standards using elaborate decontamination methods.
