Description
The 13.2 h half-life radioisotope 123I is widely used in clinical nuclear medicine diagnosis. Nowadays, the preferred process for 123I production is bombardment of highly enriched 124Xe gas with medium energy protons and taking advantage of the activation of the different radionuclides in the decay chain 123Cs→123Xe→123I
