Indonesia Moves Residents Near Site Contaminated with Caesium 137, Task Force Says

INDONESIA - JAKARTA. The Indonesian government has started relocating residents living in areas surrounding the Modern Cikande Industrial Estate, a site found to have been contaminated with radioactive Caesium-137, a spokesman told Reuters on Friday.

The effort was initiated after Indonesia detected high levels of Caesium-137, a man-made radionuclide, at the sprawling industrial zone near the capital Jakarta.
