text: Caesium-134 is found in spent nuclear fuel but is not produced by nuclear weapon explosions, as it is only formed by neutron capture on stable Cs-133, which is only produced by beta decay of Xe-133 with a half-life of 3 days. Cs-134 has a half-life of 2 years and may be a major source of gamma radiation in the first 20 years after discharge.
  Caesium-135 is a long-lived fission product with much weaker radioactivity. Neutron capture inside the reactor transmutes much of the xenon-135 that would otherwise decay to Cs-135.
  Caesium-137, with a half-life of 30 years, is the main medium-lived fission product, along with Sr-90.
  Cs-137 is the primary source of penetrating gamma radiation from spent fuel from 10 years to about 300 years after discharge.
  It is the most significant radioisotope left in the area around Chernobyl.
