Potential value of Cs-137 capsules [PDF]

, 1985
We determined the value of Cs-137 compared to Co-60 as a source for the irradiation of fruit (apples and cherries), pork and medical supplies. Cs-137, in the WESF capsule form, had a value of approximately $0.40/Ci as a substitute for Co-60 priced at approximately $1.00/Ci.

Cs-137 in the natural environment of the Gorce Mountains (Poland) [PDF]

Journal of Radioanalytical and Nuclear Chemistry, 2014
Concentration of activity of Cs-137 and its spatial distribution in soils and lichen Hypogymnia physodes were determined in the Gorce Mts. (several hundred km2) in S Poland. The authors distinguished two areas of the Gorce Mts. on the basis of markedly different Cs-137 depositions, whose respective average values are 4.4 and 9.9 kBq/m2 as at 1st July ...

Gold Nanoparticles Enhancing Generation of ROS for Cs-137 Radiotherapy [PDF]

Nanoscale Research Letters, 2022
AbstractRadiotherapy is an important modality for the treatment of cancer, e.g., X-ray, Cs-137 γ-ray (peak energy: 662 keV). An important therapy pathway of radiation is to generate the double strand breaks of DNA to prohibit the proliferation of cancer cells.

Soil fertilisation with Cs-137-contaminated and uncontaminated wood ash as a countermeasure to reduce Cs-137 uptake by forest plants [PDF]

, 2023
The purpose of present study was to find out whether wood ash with a high pH value and neutralizing capacity reduces Cs-137 uptake by forest plants many years after the radionuclide fallout. The effects of one-time point fertilisation with Cs-137-contaminated and uncontaminated wood ash alone or in combination with KCl on Cs-137 transfer from soil to ...

Ordinary-Portland-cement solidification of Cs-137 contaminated electric arc furnace dust from steel production industry in Thailand [PDF]

Heliyon
The cementation was used to immobilize the Cs-137 contaminated electric arc furnace dust (EAFD). Various mixing recipes were used to prepare the EAFD-cement waste form specimens.

Microplastics Decrease the Toxicity of ¹³⁷Cs in the Zebrafish Embryo-Larva [PDF]

Toxics
Large amounts of radionuclides and microplastics (MPs) have been released and will continue to be discharge into the environment. They will exist and interact in the aquatic environment over extended periods.

CS-137 CONTAMINATION IN WILD BOARS IN SESIA VALLEY, ITALY [PDF]

, 2013
Traces of cesium-137, well above the threshold set out in the Italian regulations, have been found in wild boars in the alpine area of the Sesia Valley, Piedmont, Italy. We analyzed samples of tongue and diaphragm of animals slaughtered during the hunting season 2012-2013 and in 27 of these the level of cesium was higher than the threshold specified by

Long-term prediction of $$^{137}$$ 137 Cs in Lake Onuma on Mt. Akagi after the Fukushima accident using fractional diffusion model

Scientific Reports, 2021
The Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident also contaminates lakes in Japan. Especially in closed lakes, there is a problem of prolonged low-level $$^{137}$$ 137 Cs contamination because the activity concentration of $$^{137}$$ 137 Cs declines ...

ANALYSIS OF CS-137 TO CS-134 ACTIVITY RATIO FOR FAILED FUEL EXPOSURE ESTIMATION [PDF]

, 2018
The Cs-134 to Cs-137 activity ratio of the Cs-134 and Cs-137 fission products released from failed fuel rods into primary coolant is very useful to identify the exposure along with the fuel batch of the failed fuel.

Initial spread of ¹³⁷Cs from the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant over the Japan continental shelf: a study using a high-resolution, global-coastal nested ocean model [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2013
The 11 March 2011 tsunami triggered by the M9 and M7.9 earthquakes off the Tōhoku coast destroyed facilities at the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant (FNPP) leading to a significant long-term flow of the radionuclide 137Cs into coastal waters.
