Iodine-131 Radioactive Decay
A fleeting isotope that transformed nuclear medicine and disaster response

Why is iodine-131 particularly significant in both nuclear accidents and medical treatments?
Because its eight-day half-life leads to intense but short-lived radiation that affects the thyroid, making it both a health hazard and a therapeutic tool.
Because it remains radioactive for decades, causing long-term contamination and treatment effects.
Because it is stable and does not emit radiation, making it safe for widespread use without precautions.
