      cesium is a by-product of nuclear fission as done in nuclear power plants.

      So either the core is bare or it escaped the reactor through vents (that would be relatively 'good')

          • All types of crap get irradiated and formed. Cesium is one of those species. The presence of cesium usually means fission products escaped. Normally you look for radioactive iodine and cesium.

                  So, would this mean the containment building is leaking?
