Scenarios about 'cesium-137'
Cesium-137 is a radioactive isotope produced primarily through nuclear fission in reactors and weapons testing, with a half-life of about 30 years. Its environmental persistence made it a significant contaminant following nuclear incidents like Chernobyl and Fukushima, while its widespread dispersal serves as a marker of the Atomic Age in geological records. In alternate histories, cesium-137 contamination often features in scenarios exploring different outcomes of nuclear conflicts or technological disasters.
