“…from 4 to 15 show the variation of the activity of 131 I at different target weights (5g, 10g, 30g, 50g, 100g and 150g) and attached to a neutron flux ranges from 5 10 11 to 10 13 n/cm²s, for irradiation time 4, 6 and 8 hours** in each cycle. This work was well validated with the study of A. S. Elom Achoribo [35] and B. El Bakkari [34]. To validate our results we compared them with the results of AS Elom Achorido [35] (fig.…”

Objective: Currently, nuclear medicine is becoming increasingly important, through the discovery of several medical radioisotopes, which are used in diagnosis, treatment, and medical imaging. Among the most important radionuclide which is commonly used is iodine-131, with a half-life of 8.02 d. Iodine-131 is one of the mainly essential elements in nuclear medicine. Since their first use, several studies have been conducted to meet the world need of hospital specialists in nuclear medicine. The purpose of this study was to participate in a lawsuit about the feasibility of producing 131I.Methods: using neutron activation of the dioxide of tellurium (TeO2) under a neutron flux which varies between 5 1011 and 1013 n/cm²s for 4, 6 and 8 hours** per irradiation cycle during 5 d, and used the Fortron90 Code to calculate the activity of iodine-131.Results: The result of the activity of iodine-131 found about 4,634 Curie with an irradiation of 4 hours** per day and 9.381 Curie with an activation of 8 hours** per day.Conclusion: Production of iodine-131 can be very effective if an acceptable capsule is used for different masses of tellurium and a neutron flux in a nuclear reactor.

“…I-131 can also be co-recovered with Mo-99, but no current suppliers of I-131 do so at present. Instead, they make I-131 by irradiating tellurium-130 (Te-130) with neutrons (El Bakkari et al, 2015;IAEA, 2003,):…”

Technetium-99m, the decay product of molybdenum-99, is the most widely used radionuclide for medical imaging. The images on the cover were produced during a myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) study using technetium-99m to assess blood flow to heart tissues (courtesy of Henry D. Royal, Washington University School of Medicine). The series of tomographic images at the top are produced during the stress portion (either exercise or pharmacological) of the test and the images at the bottom during the rest portion. The center image (referred to as a bulls-eye image) combines multiple images taken at stress or rest (in this case at rest) to assess myocardial perfusion defects. The black area of the bulls-eye image corresponds to areas of abnormal myocardial perfusion. The patient was diagnosed with a myocardial infarction (i.e., heart attack).

“…The majority of 131 I is produced by irradiating 130 tellurium ( 130 Te) with neutrons. This produces 131 Te with a half‐life of 25 minutes, or 131m Te with a half‐life of 30 h. 131 Te decays via beta emission (β‐) to 131 I 35 . The decay pathway is as follows: 130 Te (n, γ) 131 Te(β‐) → 131 I resulting in a yield of 95.5% 131 I 36 .…”

Radioiodines have a long history in nuclear medicine. Herein, we discuss the production, properties and applications of these versatile iodine‐based imaging and theragnostic agents. There are 38 isotopes of iodine (I) including one stable form (127I). The most common radionuclides used in medical imaging and treatment, including Iodine‐123 (123I), Iodine‐124 (124I), Iodine‐125 (125I) and Iodine‐131 (131I), are discussed in this review.
