THE DISTRIBUTION OF OXIDATION STATES OF130I FORMED IN 133Cs (n,α) REACTION INDUCED BY 14 MeV NEUTRONS.

The results show that the influence of the matrix on the percentage distribution of IO- 4 is small; the oxidation states of 130I found in the cesium chloride are mostly reduction states; the appearance in reduction state for the recoiling atoms formed directly by nuclear reaction is a general phenomenon; the decrease of reduced state in the cesium nitrate matrix is because of oxidation of NO- 2 produced by the irradiation decomposition of nitrate and an obvious unisolated unknown iodine compound.
