Chris and All,

 

Good guess, but I-125 is not accelerator produced. It comes from a reactor.

 

Maybe Ken Skrable knows why I-125 is not listed in NUREG 4884.

Folks

 

Is I-125 accelerator-produced?  That might be the reason for omitting it.
However, note that *stable* iodine (I-127) is listed.  So, you could try to
work it out for yourself, given the 60 d t1/2 (I realize that's not the same
as simply citing an independent, and authoritative, reference).  ICRP 54
does list I-125.

 

Cheers
