There are more than 20 radioactive isotopes of iodine. Some very important radioisotopes are found in industry and medicine. I-131 is the dominant radioisotope contributing to internal exposure after a reactor accident, nuclear weapons test or any incident involving fresh fission products. However, short-lived radioisotopes I-132, I-133, I-134, I-135 with half-lives from 52 minutes to 6. 7 hours can contribute significantly if the person is in close proximity to a fresh fission product release.  1, record 1, English, - fresh%20fission%20product

Des exemples de produits de fission à très courte vie sont le xénon-135 (de période 8 heures) et l'iode-131 (de période 8 jours). Le premier est un poison pour la bonne marche du réacteur s'il s'accumule en trop grande quantité. Le second a fait partie des produits de fission frais qui ont été relâchés lors de l'accident de Tchernobyl. Cet élément très mobile (il est volatil) et radioactif a constitué le principal danger immédiatement après l'accident.  2, record 1, French, - produit%20de%20fission%20frais

On a vu au contraire une augmentation des cancers et des nodules thyroïdiens chez les habitants des îles Marshall après le tir «Bravo» de Bikini. Ces habitants avaient reçu des produits de fission frais.  3, record 1, French, - produit%20de%20fission%20frais

Adopted in 1986 following the Chernobyl nuclear plant accident, this Convention establishes a notification system for nuclear accidents which have the potential for international transboundary release that could be of radiological safety significance for another State. It requires States to report the accident's time, location, radiation releases, and other data essential for assessing the situation. Notification is to be made to affected States directly or through the IAEA, and to the IAEA itself. Reporting is mandatory for any nuclear accident involving facilities and activities listed in Article 1. Pursuant to Article 3, States may notify other accidents as well. The five nuclear-weapon States(China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom, and United States) have all declared their intent also to report accidents involving nuclear weapons and nuclear weapons tests.  2, record 2, English, - Convention%20on%20Early%20Notification%20of%20a%20Nuclear%20Accident

Adoptée le 26 septembre 1986 à Vienne (Autriche) et entrée en vigueur le 27 octobre 1986. Objectifs : Fournir les informations pertinentes sur les accidents nucléaires aussitôt que possible de façon que les conséquences radiologiques transfrontières puissent être limitées le plus possible.  2, record 2, French, - Convention%20sur%20la%20notification%20rapide%20d%27un%20accident%20nucl%C3%A9aire
