Radioactive elements are legions.
Some have a half-Life of few hours while others few thousand of years.
Some have little or very little impact on Health of the Living Kingdom
while others are lethal.
Some will never cross Pacific Sea and some will.
From the Land of the Rising Sun Empire,
via the Atmosphere blowing in the Wind,
to Worldwide interlinked Oceans
to Regions under Rain..
radioactivity is imposing itself in its ubiquitous ambitions.
From plain Grass, to Vegetables and Cereals
to Trees and their Fruits Gifts...
From Fishes to Birds, to Mammals,
radioactivity behave differently in its Destiny
Here and There, Now and Later
VIA
The Air that Living Elements Breaths,
The Water being Drunken, Foods eaten,
Elements via which radioactivity is present and
intensifying by a mere process of accumulation
Made me ponder... and made me a Seeker,
For Options leading to Solutions...
While I could feel and hear, in the background;
All those who have stopped their Quest,
intimidated as they were by aversion or fear,
Some desperately or with frustration,
Thinking, Saying or Shouting,
We ARE DOOMED...
I have Lived enough in this Life to know,
Doomsayers are probably very tired people, Who quit the Seekers Path, shouting,
I will not Dare to look at Options, Sadly Falling in the slope of
I don't Care not pursuing my Path,
there is no use... Forgetting that it is one's Duty as an Iroquois to make Decisions for Seven Generation Ahead
And Thus staying in the Path toward Options.
Daring to Care is such a powerful instrument of Transcendence
In all Iroquois Nations, there is no escape for the Leader,
You are personally responsible for the Seven Generation ahead of you,
that is if you Dare to Care
And I stopped being assaulted by this stubbornly lasting energy resulting from our impose process on the Atom,
as soon I took the Bull by the Horn,
Eye to Eye, as is,
Without Fear nor aversion,
Options were brought forth, by those who Dared to Care,
In reducing morbidity and mortality that could cause this beast.
Before us in the situation we are all in on this
April 11th 2011,
one month after Nihon got bumped, and the Ocean came to grab many of our fellow beings with one of Everlasting Nihon Surrounding Power called ''Tsunami''.
Tsunami, Shock wave the Land,

Remember, Nature Prevail, always did, always will, Mother Earth Garden can be turned upside down in a tweak of her reaction.
We are, after all only its engeance.
Cesium 137 is an element that did not exist before nuclear fission.
For instance if you want to know if the most cherished bottled of wine is indeed a real bottle of the 1930's, it will have no trace of isotope Cesium 137, because prior to Atomic bomb essay, it simply did not exist, it is an element of our own creation, since it can only come into being with nuclear fission, our latest publicly known scientific advances ????
Cesium 137 is a boomerang effect of our nuclear activities, it is the echo, the radio active response.
Main Stream Medias focus mainly on iodine levels, but iodine levels, although necessitating precise medical response is mostly something we can cope TODAY for the Short term, and we do have an extensive expertise and resources to cope with it.
We have Dare to look at the consequences of Nagasaki and Hiroshima explosions, developed a robust understanding of its symptoms and treatment and we can cope with its eccentrics effects quite well up from the Inception to the Valley Inheritors Realm as far as iodine is concern, we can Honorably Cope with it.
Cesium 137 on the other hand is another story ...
So let's look at our creation eye to eye and understand that beast all together and all this without fear or aversion.
Being touched by tiny particles of Cesium 137 by the rain or by laying on the grass is still manageable. Get rid of that clothes, come out Clean-Cut and you will certainly be alright.
Cesium 137 has a half-Life of about 30 years and once inside the body it is an energy providers rebels selfish cells, cancer..
Therefore, bear with me and take a look at these options we have discovered.
From Wikipedia duly documented
The radioactive 135Cs has a very long half-life of about 2.3 million years, while 137Cs and 134Cs have half-lives of 30 and 2 years, respectively.
137Cs decomposes to a short-lived 137mBa by beta decay, and then to non-radioactive barium, while 134Cs transforms into 134Ba directly.
The isotopes with mass numbers of 129, 131, 132 and 136, have half-times between a day and two weeks, while most of the other isotopes have half-lives from a few seconds to fractions of a second. There are at least 21 metastable nuclear isomers. Other than 134mCs (with a half-life of just under 3 hours), all are very unstable and decay with half-lives of a few minutes or less.[36][37]
The isotope 135Cs is one of the long-lived fission products of uranium which form in nuclear reactors.[38]
However, its fission product yield is reduced in most reactors because its predecessor, 135Xe, is an extremely potent neutron poison and transmutes frequently to stable 136Xe before it can decay to 135Cs.[39][40]
Because of its beta decay (to 137mBa), 137Cs is a strong emitter of gamma radiation.[41] Its half-life makes it the principal medium-lived fission product along with 90Sr both are responsible for radioactivity of spent nuclear fuel after several years of cooling up to several hundred years after use.[42]
For example 137Cs together with 90Sr currently generate the largest source of radioactivity generated in the area around the Chernobyl disaster.[43] It is not feasible to dispose of 137Cs through neutron capture (due to the low capture rate) and as a result it must be allowed to decay.[44]
How long does it take [before] a contaminated area can be inhabited again?
[Renowned radiation biologist Edmund Lengfelder state:]
There is a rule of thumb:
For a nuclide such as cesium-137, the half-life of 30 years. It takes ten half-lives, so you can populate an area again, making a total of 300 years.
How do people come in contact with cesium-137?
Everyone is exposed to very small amounts of cesium-137 in soil and water as a result of atmospheric fallout. In the Northern Hemisphere, the average annual dose from exposure to cesium-137 associated with atmospheric fallout is less than 1 mrem; this dose continues to diminish every year as cesium-137 decays.
People may also be exposed from contaminated sites:
Walking on cesium-137 contaminated soil could result in external exposure to gamma radiation. Leaving the contaminated area would prevent additional exposure.
Coming in contact with waste materials at contaminated sites could also result in external exposure to gamma radiation. Leaving the area would also end the exposure.
If cesium-137 contaminated soil becomes air-borne as dust, breathing the dust would result in internal exposure. Because the radiation emitting material is then in the body, leaving the site would not end the exposure.
Drinking cesium-137 contaminated water, would also place the cesium-137 inside the body, where it would expose living tissue to gamma and beta radiation.
People may ingest cesium-137 with food and water, or may inhale it as dust.
If cesium-137 enters the body, it is distributed fairly uniformly throughout the body's soft tissues, resulting in exposure of those tissues. Slightly higher concentrations of the metal are found in muscle, while slightly lower concentrations are found in bone and fat.
Compared to some other radionuclides, cesium-137 remains in the body for a relatively short time. But its radioactivity and its behavior once in the intestinal track is not a no good news. Cesium 137 is like a grain, a radio-active grain. It stays an average of 90 days in the body and with no intervention it will be going out of our quarters via urine or feces.
This tiny grain, highly radioactive stays in the body for an average of 90 days, even radioactive Cesium 137 probably believes its a Party at Disneyland since once in the intestine Cesium follows the movement of potassium and is from the gut into the blood, then to the bile, where it is excreted again into the gut (enterohepatic circulation).
Radionuclides are elements but, unlike organic substances, they cannot be broken
down by the human metabolism. The goal of treatment of radiation contamination is therefore to ensure that the radioactive substance is excreted from the body as quickly as possible in order to spare the victim from the deleterious effects of radioactivity. Elimination of the radioactive substance is boosted by giving the patient an appropriate antidote.
So Cesium 137 is going around and around while highly radioactive energy and gives a lot of energy to centrifuge selfish cells (cancer cells) who have not any empathy for its surrounding neighbors.
When there is isolation from it surroundings, cancer cells have no empathy and no desire to cooperation with others.
Boost by cesium 137, it becomes the powerful energy that will allow a sharp and significant expansion of the me, myself and I cancer cells for about 3 months...
Cesium 137 in 2011 is not a Natural element, it is man created by His technique 'Nuclear Fission'.
Here is another non natural element that Mankind created.
The Prussian Blue
Prussian blue was probably synthesized for the first time by the paint maker Diesbach in Berlin around the year 1706.[3]
To date, the "Entombment of Christ", dated 1709 by Pieter van der Werff (Picture Gallery, Sanssouci, Potsdam) is the oldest known painting where Prussian blue was used.
Prussian blue
Prussian blue is a dark blue pigment with the idealized formula Fe7(CN)18 14H2O.[1] Another name for the color Prussian blue is Berlin blue or, in painting, Parisian blue. Turnbull's blue is the same substance but is made from different reagents.
Prussian blue is one of the first synthetic pigments. It is famously complex,[2] owing to the presence of variable amounts of other ions and the sensitive dependence of its appearance on the size of the particles. The pigment is used in paints, and it is the traditional "blue" in blueprints. It has been used as an antidote for certain kinds of heavy metal poisoning.
Prussian blue lent its name to prussic acid, which was derived from it, and to ferrocyanide (originally meaning "blue compound of iron", from Latin ferrum and Greek. As ferrocyanide is made of iron and CN radicals, reinterpreting the component "-cyanide" in the compound word produced the word "cyanide" for compounds containing the CN radical.
http://en.wikipedia.org/...
Prussian blue's ability to incorporate monocations makes it useful as a sequestering agent for certain heavy metal poisons. Pharmaceutical-grade Prussian blue in particular is used for patients who have ingested thallium or radioactive caesium. According to the International Atomic Energy Agency, an adult male can eat at least 10 grams of Prussian blue per day without serious harm. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has determined that the "500 mg Prussian blue capsules, when manufactured under the conditions of an approved New Drug Application (NDA), can be found safe and effective therapy" in certain poisoning cases.[14]
Radiogardase (Prussian blue insoluble capsules [15]) is a commercial product for the removal of caesium-137 from the intestine and so indirectly from the bloodstream by intervening in the enterohepatic circulation of caesium-137,[16] reducing the internal residency time (and exposure) by about two-thirds.
