PROCESS FOR MAKING RADIOACTIVE IODINE

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4842883

A process for producing I/sup 131/ is given which uses metatelluric acid, The telluric acid is irradiated with neutrons in a high-flux, low- temperature reactor and the resulting I/sup 131/ is easily separated therefrom by distillation from acid solution. The advantages of meta-telluric acid over orthotelluric acid are higher decomposition temperature and higher tellurium content. (D.L.C.)
