Cesium - 137 radioactive Cesium - nuclear chemistry

Cs-137 - The Most Well-Known Fission Product

In this video, I've introduced you to the radionuclide Cesium-137, using our Cs-137 stock solution as an example. There will be more videos about this, but this is a rough initial overview.

Your exposure for the sake of science education deserves way more views.

As a chemistry layperson I get excited whenever I see prussian blue show up. I'm all like "hey, I recognize that!".

[madmax]

0:48 thats crazy, thats putting out around 1/4th of the yearly dose from normal background radiation in my area all at once, and thats through the lead container.

[Spectre]

Crazy activity, i was thinking I131 which emits 100 mkSv/h was very strong, but almost 2 mSv/h is insane

It's used in oil and gas exploration

Can you image the Cherenkov glow from a long exposure in a dark room?

IPS ?
Just when i thought i had heard of all the different units of measure.

[rmlfqyl]

Are aqueous solutions of radionuclides prohibited for private individuals in your country?

[maestrplay]

Thats insane you risk life for youtube video

[martingrahan]

Risking too much for an youtube video, maybe not now but in 10/15 years could have horrible consequences take care!
