Which risk increases when a Cesium-137 source's shielding fails?

💡 Explanation

Increased Cesium-137 exposure increases somatic mutation rate via beta decay because ionizing radiation damages DNA; therefore, mutation rates are increased rather than direct alpha emission or spontaneous fission, which are far less probable decay pathways for Cesium.
