Where can I buy Caesium-137?

Best Answers

Well, you can in very small quantities but it won’t be enough to glow (it comes sealed), you don’t want open it and you’ll probably need to be at least 18 yo to buy it: Radioactive Sources. These are for calibrating radiation detection instruments and only a small amount is required. read more

Caesium-137, cesium-137, or radiocaesium, is a radioactive isotope of caesium which is formed as one of the more common fission products by the nuclear fission of uranium-235 and other fissionable isotopes in nuclear reactors and nuclear weapons. It is among the most problematic of the short-to-medium-lifetime fission products because it easily moves and spreads in nature due to the high water solubility of caesium's most common chemical compounds, which are salts. read more

As a photosensitor, cesium has a peak response at 800nm in the infrared, both thermal- and photo-emission being high. Alloys of cesium with antimony, gallium, indium and thorium are generally photosensitive. Cesium is also used in atomic clocks, a standard measure of time, based on the caesium ion resonance of 9,192,631,770 Hz. read more
