I-131 decontamination.



Good morning.

Apart form the chemical hazaerds of the bleach/acid mix liberating
chlorine gas, it may well convert your I-131 to Iodine which may, under
the conditions, be volatile. Thus not only do you have a cloud of
chlorine, but it may well also be radioactive.

Do not do it!
