Abstract
The amounts of 129I present in mammalian thyroid glands have been determined by a combination of neutron activation and mass spectrometry. Contemporary thyroid glands contain 129I/127I about 10−8 and commercial I2 contains 129Ir127I s 10−10. The latter ratio may reflect the lower detection limit of this technique at a neutron flux of 1014 neutrons cm−2 sec−1 due to the production of 129I from double neutron capture on 127I during the irradiation.
