The most common radioisotope of cesium is cesium-137. It emits beta and gamma radiation, decaying to stable barium-137. Cesium-137 is widely used in gamma sources. It occurs in these sources as cesium chloride pellets. Cesium chloride is a soluble salt. The contamination from a sealed-source leak absorbs water, becomes damp, and creeps.

ادامه مطلبThe hepatic 137 Cs levels were reduced in all chelated dogs. Indirectly, Prussian blue will also mobilize 137 Cs from the bloodstream by intervening with its enterohepatic circulation . Le Gall et al. compared the 137 Cs-mobilizing effect of apple-pectin and Prussian blue in rats intravenously injected with 5 kBq of 137 Cs. The …
ادامه مطلبThe most common radioactive form of cesium is Cesium-137 (Cs-137). Cs-137 is produced by nuclear fission for use in medical devices and gauges. Cs- 137 is also one of the …
ادامه مطلبThe radiation weighting factors are considered to be unity for the beta and gamma radiation emitted from 134 Cs and 137 Cs, so for these radionuclides, the absorbed dose (in rad or Gray) is equal to the dose …
ادامه مطلبBarium-137, which is formed from caesium-137, also releases gamma radiation. Caesium-137 is an element of the alkali metal family (family 1 on the Periodic Table). Caesium is similar to potassium(K) (which also belongs to this family) and is able to replace it in living tissue.
