Thyroid screening of members of the public for iodine isotopes with portable NaI detectors
Brazilian Journal of Radiation Sciences, 2015 In the case of an accident in a nuclear power plant with radionuclide releases to the environment, members of the public with possible internal contamination with radioactive isotopes of iodine should be screened to identify cases where a more detailed ...

Microbial involvement in iodine cycle: mechanisms and potential applications
Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2023 Stable iodine isotopes are essential for humans as they are necessary for producing thyroid gland hormones. However, there are hazardous radioactive iodine isotopes that are emitted into the environment through radioactive waste generated by nuclear ...

Spins of Some Radioactive Iodine Isotopes [PDF]
Physical Review, 1958 The spins of I/sup 123/, I/sup 124/, and I/sup 131/ were measured by the method of atomic beams; the spins are 5/2, 2. and 7/2. respectively. The result I = 7/2 for I/sup 131/ confirms an earlier measurement by a different method. (auth)
