PREPARATION OF I-131 WITH HIGH SPECIFIC ACTIVITY

Journal Article · · Intern. Chem. Eng.
OSTI ID:4804292

A method for preparation of I/sup 131/ from TeO/sub 2/ which was previously irradiated is described. The nuclear reactions ror production or I/ sup 131 are: Te/sup 130/(n gamma ) yields - Te/sup 131/ yields I/sup 131/ + beta /sup -/ The iodine was separated from the irradiated TeO/sub 2/ by wet distillation. The yield was approximately 75%. (M.C.G.)
