Abstract
FISSION product tellurium-132 (half-life 77 hr.) is now obtainable from the Atomic Energy Research Establishment, Harwell. The daughter isotope iodine-132 is potentially valuable in a variety of tracer applications, such as double tracer experiments in conjunction with 8.0-day iodine-131 or in short-term physiological studies where minimal radiation dosage is desired1. The measurements reported here provide the necessary physical data for the calculation of the radiation dosage resulting from the use of iodine-132 in biological tracer investigations2.
