Example: Isotopes of Iodine

 

The table on the left shows as an example the availability of isotopes for Iodine. The last version (IDEA) covers in total 7 isotopes of Iodine, the half-life of which being typically more than 12 h. There is also one isotope with a shorter half-life (I-132), which has been included because it may be important after nuclear accidents.  

 

The new version (IDEAplus) includes 10 additional isotopes with short half-life and one isotope with a longer half-life (I-126) which was missing in the last version. So, any isotope of Iodine is available now which could be relevant for internal dosimetry. The same applies also for the other new elements of IDEA+.
