0 a chemical element that is a soft, silver-white alkaline metal. Caesium reacts strongly with other chemicals and is used in photocells. --
The take-up of caesium occurs over a period.
But—and this is important—the government scientists are conducting laboratory experiments on the uptake of caesium from different types of soil.
Caesium is a mobile element which moves with the water and is therefore a good indicator of current flows.
A representative selection of public water sources has been monitored for several years for radioactive strontium and caesium.
The map referred to was a preliminary contour map of the caesium deposition.
Radionuclides such as the isotopes of iodine and caesium would not normally be present.
Low concentrations of caesium radionuclides are detectable in people generally as a result of atmospheric fallout and releases from nuclear installations.
They are a means of ensuring that caesium does not come on to the market from young unfinished lambs.
