Dry-Distillation of Iodine-131 from Several Tellurium Compounds

Separat1on of Iodine-131 from Neutron Irradiated Tellurium Using Hydrogen Ieroxide

When the former method is employed for production, enriched uranium irradiated for 2-3 weeks in the nuclear reactor is dissoivoc! in nitric acid and the iodine-131 is distilled and collected. '*) But separation of iodine-1 31 from pile irradiated tellurium targets is the most commonly used method of production. The methods <d Reparation varies for different targets. With metal tellurium the tar...

Radiation Exposure From Iodine 131

self-instructional publications designed to increase the primary care provider’s knowledge of hazardous substances in the environment and to aid in the evaluation of potentially exposed patients. This course is also available on the ATSDR Web site, www.atsdr.cdc. gov/HEC/CSEM/. See page 3 for more information about continuing medical education credits, continuing nursing education units, contin...

Iodine-131 Fallout from Underground Tests II.

In a recent report (1), List, Telegadas, and Ferber take issue with my earlier conclusion (2) that vented underground tests in Nevada were the probable sources for the repeated occurrences of iodine-131 fallout in midwestern United States during May 1962. In doing so they provide no evidence to establish that the underground shots in question were contained, but they suggest that precipitation ...

Dry Distillation of Radioiodine from TeO2 Targets

As medical cyclotrons are becoming more abundant, I and I are getting more attention as alternatives to I for diagnostics of thyroid disease. Both I and I provide better diagnostics, deliver less dose to patients and both reduce the risk of thyroid stunning, facilitating subsequent therapy. Dry distillation of radioiodine from tellurium dioxide targets has become the standard approach to produc...
