Abstrakt: We report a study of a fast radiochemical method to determine the activity of I via the radiochemical recovery obtained with a I tracer. Previous methods were valid for low levels of I activities. In the new method, we developed a correction using the 29.7-keV X-ray peak from Xe, taking into consideration that this peak originates from both and I decay. This enables quantitation of high levels of I activity. Furthermore, for a very high I activity, one can use the 39.6-keV gamma peak which is unique to I. Combining both approaches enables quantitation of I activities up to 200 times that of the I recovery tracer. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
