Chernobyl Nuclear Reactor Accident • April 26, 1986 accident at ChNPP • Principal radionuclide: Iodine-131 (I-131) • I-131 concentrates in the thyroid gland

Exposure to the Embryo/Fetus • I-131 readily crosses the placenta • I-131 uptake begins ~10-12 weeks gestation • Uptake increases faster than thyroid mass • In late gestation, fetal I-131 levels many-fold higher than maternal levels
