Proportion	~9%

Caesium-137 is an extremely radioactive caesium radioisotope and common nuclear fission product. It is one of the plasma forge boosters. It is also naturally pyrophoric.

Production

As Cs-137 is a major fission product, it is mainly produced by recycling short-lived nuclear waste. On average, short-lived waste contains ~9% Cs-137. It also comes from the fuel cycles of MOX and highly enriched plutonium-239 Fuel in the research reactor.

Uses

It can be used to give the plasma forge a x4 speed bonus with no penalty.

Trivia

• Due to it being a common fission product, it can be found at nuclear disaster sites like Chernobyl or Fukushima, as well as nuclear detonation sites and in the fallout of them.
