Characteristics of exposure to radioactive iodine during a nuclear incident [PDF]
Radiology and OncologyDuring a nuclear accident, numerous products of nuclear fission are released, including isotopes of radioactive iodine. Among them is iodine-131, with a half-life of 8.02 days, which emits β radiation. For decades, it has been effectively and safely used
