After a nuclear power plant accident, radioactive isotopes of iodine, tellurium, and cesium were found in the atmosphere downwind. No heavy isotopes were found.
The material either came from spent fuel rods or the plantβs core. Spent fuel rods never contain significant quantities of tellurium. Material ejected directly from the core would include heavy isotopes.
However, steam which may have been in contact with the core was released from the plant. The core contains iodine, tellurium, and cesium, which are easily dissolved by steam.
The radioactive material found in the atmosphere did not come from spent fuel rods and was not ejected directly from the core.
The radioactive material found in the atmosphere was carried from the core by the steam released from the plant.
