Since the uses of 137Cs far outclass its supply in waste, finding ways to safely store it is a critical nuclear safety challenge. What is needed is a stable cesium compound that is not a water soluble salt. Enter #pollucite!

Since the mineral is not water soluble and synthetic forms can be over 40% cesium by weight, it could be a safe and efficient way to concentrate and store 137Cs waste. This method could be used to assist reclamation efforts around Fukushima, for example.

If you have a spare 50 bucks, you can buy a nice exempt quantity check source from spectrumtechniques.com. they're the ones that make them fresh. I've had them make me a lot of unique samples too. Like a 3.7kBq 137Cs source.
They'll also sell you a 137Ba-m generator 😲 for like 150

Basically, you pass an illusion solution through a little container that contains 370kBq 137Cs. The result is the meta stable isomer, 137Ba-m with a 2.55 minute half life. It's really cool for teaching Half-Lives because you can measure it within 30 minutes disappearing and calculate stuff from it
