CsCl is also much less active per gram because about half of fission product cesium is stable (on top of longer halflife)

the source getting damaged or corroded somehow is the simplest explanation i can think of now, cesium is likely in form of chloride which is very easily soluble in water

or maybe it was intentional sabotage by competitor, who the fuck knows

The best known Chinese rodenticide, containing about 6–20% TETS, is Dushuqiang, "very strong rat poison". It has been used for mass poisonings in China: in April 2004, there were 74 casualties after eating scallion-flavored pancakes tainted by their vendor's competitor; and in September 2002, 400 people were poisoned and 38 died from contaminated food.[11][12] In 2002, there was one documented case of accidental poisoning in the US.[6]

some foods (and other things, like blood and some other medical products) are irradiated in order to sterilize them and make them last longer, 137Cs sources are used for this purpose because this material is easily available but can't be used for other purposes (like radiography)

it also requires zero effort on their part

it's a mining area (underground copper mine is in the same town)

Depending on local climate, season and proximity to cities or industrial customers, this is often done, but you'll still have to dump lots of heat in the summer when space heating is off

straight up not feasible for many serious and necessary facilities like powerplants and refineries, unless you prefer very warm lake or river nearby (which also cools down by evaporation later)
