The links below will change and new ones will be added periodically. I’ll attempt to be even-handed in the selections, relying on submissions by readers. Some links will yield simply objective information about radiation. Others will contain subjective interpretations of data. The reader is urged to form her/his own impressions of where the truth lies.
Oh, sure, I have opinions about the use of I-131 as a therapy for Graves’ Disease. I also have an open mind and want to learn in order to assess the truth of the matter. I’m NOT a wild-eyed radical -- although I AM wild-eyed – but that’s one of the side-effects of Graves’! (Some research suggests that Thyroid Eye Disease is exacerbated by I-131.)

Curie: A measure of the amount of radiation emitted per second by radioactive chemicals, named after Marie Curie, the discoverer of radium. It is the number of disintegrations taking place each second in 1 gram of radium, leading to the emission of some 37 billion gamma rays or other particles every second. 
millicurie -- one one-thousandth of a curie. 

microcurie -- one millionth of a curie. 

picocurie -- one trillionth of a curie or one micro-microcurie.
