[This woman] is part of the van life community, a rapidly growing segment of the … population that has sold or stored its belongings and moved into a van. … Van lifers opt for this lifestyle for the simplicity, minimalism and freedom it affords. Some simply travel, some work remotely from their vans as they roam, some take temporary gigs in the towns they visit along the way. Normally, they park their homes in fee-charging public or private campgrounds or in free campsites on public lands. 4, record 1, English, - van%20lifer

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 3, 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 3, French, - produit%20de%20fission%20frais
