Reference data vs computed valuesHalf-life, gamma lines and D-value are reference data (ENDF/B-VIII.0, НП-067-24).Gamma constant Γ 1 m पर H*(10) है, ICRP-107 spectra (NIST µ_en/ρ, ICRP-74 Table A.21) से गणना की गई, equilibrium में short-lived progeny सहित (जैसे Cs-137/Ba-137m, Ra-226 series); specific activity molar mass M ≈ mass number A का उपयोग करती है।Dose rate example: point source, no shielding or scatter, Ḣ = Γ·A/r².K-series X-ray energies are from NIST SRD 128 (Deslattes et al., 2003): in ENDF/B-VIII.0 they are given to 1 % and shifted by up to 0.7 keV for heavy elements. L-series lines and all yields are ENDF/B-VIII.0.

Iodine-123 (I-123) — reference data

What is in the card

This card gathers the key data of radionuclide I-123 in one place: half-life, decay modes, main gamma lines, alpha and beta particle energies, gamma constant, specific activity and the D-value for source categorization. Decay and emission data are from ENDF/B-VIII.0; the D-value follows NP-067-24; the gamma constant is the ambient dose equivalent H*(10) at 1 m, computed from ICRP-107 spectra.

How to use the data

Half-life and specific activity let you recalculate the activity of a I-123 source to the delivery or disposal date — use the decay calculator. Gamma lines with yields identify the nuclide from a spectrum and pick the line for gamma spectrometry; the gamma constant Γ gives the dose rate at a distance, while the D-value and A1/A2 set the source category and the package type for transport.
