Special Report: Australia's Cesium 137 Accident

Cesium 137 is a radioactive isotope produced during fission reactions like those found in nuclear reactors or by atomic weapons. It has a half-life of roughly 30 years and produces beta radiation. Since it's almost entirely man-made and all made after 1945, its presence is even used to date fine wines.
