Volatility of I-131 NaI

[Gordon Axt <gordon-axt@uiowa.edu>]

Does anyone have any information on the volatility of I-131 NaI.  We are 
updating our emergency response program and one scenario involves a spill 
of an I-131 therapy dosage (100 - 200 mCi) in a patient room (either prior 
to administration or by the patient vomiting
shortly after receiving the dose.  Looking for an approximate % of the 
original activity that would initially be airborne.

Thanks for your help,

It's not about doughs, its about crust. (sorry Bill,  its the allergy 
medication:)
