3. Specific conditioning of fission products (I, Cs)
Iodine is a fission product with several peculiarities to be carefully considered when developing a specific package. Firstly, this element comprises several radioactive isotopes, including
129
I,
131
I and a stable isotope
127
I. The
131
I isotope is produced in small quantities in reactors and has a short half-life (T
1/2
= 8 days), while the
129
I isotope has a very long half-life (T
1/2
= 1.6 × 10
