Following the recent discovery of cesium-137 contamination at a factory in Prachin Buri province this week, Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha has reassured local residents of their safety and instructed authorities to conduct inspections.

As if he knows anything.

in short "we" and probably "they"  don't know anything about the real ray of spreading.  The winds are blowing South since a week and are announced to continue in that direction for the coming days. Better buy a Geiger counter yourself if you want to know if you are concerned.

But I thought it was smelted?  The 13 tons of furnace dust?  How much metal was contaminated.  Let's hear some international professional chemist or radiation expert explain the chemistry and risks.   

He who smelted it dealted it. I think they will eventually consult with outside experts.

"You" and "they" could research this yourself.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caesium-137  and  https://www.cdc.gov/nceh/radiation/emergencies/isotopes/cesium.htm There wasn't enough in that capsule to present any danger if it was smelted or burned unless someone was in close proximity at the time. The only danger would have been to anyone who handled it, or if someone at the factory inhaled fumes from it, and that is unlikely. That's the REAL science. But believe what you want.

rather than make comments that are not based on reliable facts, and reflect little to no knowledge of the actual science, you people could actually research this yourselves.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caesium-137  and  https://www.cdc.gov/nceh/radiation/emergencies/isotopes/cesium.htm There wasn't enough in that capsule to present any danger if it was smelted or burned unless someone was in close proximity at the time.
