RE: I-126 in I-125
Brian
If the I-125 is produced from the Xe-124( n,g) process there should not be
any I-126 in it. That is the reason that Nordion uses this method at their
or AECL's CRL reactors.
I-125 can also be produced by Sb-123 (alpha, 2n) which will also produce
I-126 from the Sb-123 (alpha,n) reaction.

Subject: I-126 in I-125
Where would a I-126 impurity arise from in a I-125 source? I found one
ref. that lists the production method of I-125 as a Xe-124 (n,g), Xe-125,
then decay of Xe-125 to I-125.
Thanks in advance,
Brian Rees
