Isotopes of iridium

There are two natural isotopes of iridium (77Ir), and 37 radioisotopes, the most stable radioisotope being 192Ir with a half-life of 73.82 days, and many nuclear isomers, the most stable of which is 192m2Ir with a half-life of 241 years. All other isomers have half-lives under two weeks, most under a day. All isotopes of iridium are either radioactive or observationally stable, meaning that they are predicted to be radioactive but no actual decay has been observed.[4]

The isotope 191Ir was the first one of any element to be shown to present a Mössbauer effect. This renders it useful for Mössbauer spectroscopy for research in physics, chemistry, biochemistry, metallurgy, and mineralogy.[5]

Iridium-192

edit
Main article: Iridium-192

Iridium-192 (symbol 192Ir) is a radioactive isotope of iridium, with a half-life of 73.82 days.[12] It decays by emitting beta (β) particles and gamma (γ) radiation. 95.24% of 192Ir decays occur via β- emission, leading to 192Pt; the remaining 4.76% occur via electron capture to 192Os; both modes involve gamma emission. Iridium-192 is normally produced by neutron activation of natural-abundance iridium metal.[13]

Iridium-192 is used in brachytherapy and in industrial radiography, particularly for nondestructive testing of welds in steel in the oil and gas industries.
