Dirty bombs

[BERNARD L COHEN <blc+@PITT.EDU>]

	Can someone explain why dispersed CsCl in a city is a long term

hazard? Isn't it highly soluble in water? If so, it should be easy to hose

away, using radiation detectors to locate hot spots. The water with CsCl

would go into the sewer system. Even without hosing, rain should wash away

most of it.
