Cesium-137 Water Test

This testing package is recommended typically only if you already know your water has high beta particle concentration or reason to specifically suspect cesium-137 contamination. Certified lab testing 21 days turnaround at lab Free shipping, both ways This mail-to-lab kit provides all required materials to properly collect and submit a sample for certified laboratory testing. Reported results will include detailed, quantified analysis of cesium-137. For a screen of total beta particle activity,  we recommend this broad radioactivity screen: Full Radiation Water Test. Cesium-137 is a radioactive isotope of cesium is a radionuclide that spontaneously forms when radioactive materials such as uranium and plutonium undergo nuclear fission. It is commonly associated with the operation of nuclear reactors and radioactive waste, as well as fallout from nuclear weapons testing. Cesium-137 can also used in the sterilization process for food products and medical equipment, along with in an array of industrial applications. As cesium-137 decays, it emits beta particles.
