THE FISSION YIELD OF I 131 IN THE THERMAL NEUTRON FISSION OF U 235

The fission yield of I 131 has been investigated using improved extraction techniques and disintegration rate measurements. The value obtained for the fission yield is (3.1 ± 0.1)%. This is relative to a Ba 140 reference fission yield of 6.1%. The half-life for I 131 has been determined and found to...

Description
Summary:The fission yield of I 131 has been investigated using improved extraction techniques and disintegration rate measurements. The value obtained for the fission yield is (3.1 ± 0.1)%. This is relative to a Ba 140 reference fission yield of 6.1%. The half-life for I 131 has been determined and found to be 8.05 ± 0.01 days.
