I don't think so..
I looked through the current USML, and the word cesium doesn't appear in
it. Spaceflight qualified atomic frequency standards ARE on the USML,
but I didn't see anything in there about standards for terrestrial use.
Might have missed it, or maybe it's a "dual use" and controlled under
the EAR, not ITAR?
