| Mr Khan said: Isn't Cesium in the class of elements that catch fire on contact with water? Or does the radioactive isotope not have that same effect? |
Yeah, cesium is in that group but will only ignite on contact with water if it's in its elememtal form (I think!). In the rectors I think it's part of a cesium-uranium-oxide (or something like that) and so won't react with water, at least as far as I know!
