Natural Tellurium competing reactions

Te-130(34%)

[math]\gamma + Te-130 \rightarrow Sb-129 + p (4 hour half life)\rightarrow Te-128 + \beta^- [/math]

[math]\gamma + Te-130 \rightarrow Te-129 + n (70 min half life)\rightarrow I-129 + \beta^- [/math]

I-129 is basically stable

I-129

[math]\gamma + I-129 \rightarrow Te-128 + p [/math]

[math]\gamma +I-129 \rightarrow I-128 + n (25 min half life)\rightarrow Xe-128 + \beta^- [/math]

Te-128 and Xe-128 are stable

Te-128(32%)

[math]\gamma + Te-128 \rightarrow Sb-127 + p ( 4 sec half life)\rightarrow Te-127 + \beta^-( 9 hour half life)\rightarrow I-127 + \beta^-[/math]

[math]\gamma + Te-128 \rightarrow Te-127 + n (9 hour half life)\rightarrow I-127 + \beta^-[/math]

I-127 is stable

Te-126(19%)

[math]\gamma + Te-126 \rightarrow Sb-125 + p (2 year Half life)\rightarrow Te-125 + \beta^-[/math]

[math]\gamma + Te-126 \rightarrow Te-125 + n[/math]

Te-125 is stable

Te-125(7%)

[math]\gamma + Te-125 \rightarrow Sb-124 + p (60 days half life)[/math]

[math]\gamma + Te-125 \rightarrow Te-124 + n[/math]

Te-124 is stable

Te-124(5%)

[math]\gamma + Te-124 \rightarrow Sb-123 + p [/math]

[math]\gamma + Te-124 \rightarrow Te-123 + n[/math]

Te-123 and Sb-123 are stable

I-127

9 hour half life to produce it makes this nuclide ignorable
