MAJIA HERE: In case you are wondering:
Xenon 133 emits gamma and beta as it decays.
Here is a graph for the decay chain of Xenon isotopes http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotopes_of_xenon
"No long-term animal studies have been performed to evaluate carcinogenic potential, mutagenic potential or whether this drug affects fertility in males or females." http://www.drugs.com/pro/xenon-xe-133-gas.html
Majia Here: Previously radioxenon levels had been found to be 40,000 background
Radioxenon
levels were 40,000X Average Concentration In Pacific Northwest in Week
Following Accident.
Bowyer,
T. W. et al. (2011). Elevated Radioxenon Detected Remotely Following the
Fukushima Nuclear Accident. Journal of Environmental
Radioactivity,
102, 681-687.
Now it is reported to have been 450,000X Background in Pacific Northwest. Is it safe?
•Helen
Caldicott and
Arnie Gunderson report in November 2011 that the Xenon cloud bombards people with gamma
rays as the Xenon
decays. They also report that noble gasses including Xenon
are a absorbed by the lungs and can cause genetic diseases over time. http://ifyoulovethisplanet.org/audio/IYLTP%20-%20Ep%20157.mp3

Xenon Gas
and Lethal Doses by Inhalation http://www.aipri.blogspot.com/ The AIPR
or International Association for the Protection Against Ionizing Radiation
posted this on Nov 4 (please note it is translated from the French)
"The
program "semi formalized" in Fukushima of 1.67 E19 Bq 133 Xe gas have meant the spread of 2.411 kg.
This emission is equivalent in terms of internal radiation lung 400.8 million
in potentially lethal doses by inhalation. As shown, 2.4 kg of material having
the power to kill only transient 400 million people, the Xenon 133 is
classified as very low radiotoxic. It's not beautiful science! "The Xe 133 has a half-life of 5.244 days. It
decreases in beta mode with a decay constant of 1.52985 s-1 E-6. (Ln
(2) / T1 / 2 ie 0.693147 / 5.244 * 24 * 60 * 60 =
1.52985 E-6. )
The specific activity of E15 6.9271 Bq / g E05 Ci/gr.- -1.872 (6.0221415
E 23 / 133 * 1.5299 = 6.9271 E-06 E15 Bq / gr.) The
inhalation dose factor is of 1.20 E-10 Sv / Bq.

•A
lethal
dose by inhalation of 5 Sievert E-06 weighs 6.02 gr. (6, o2 micrograms), E10 is
4.17 Bq. One
gram of 133 Xe has provided 166,249 potentially lethal
doses. Fukushima has released about 2411 grams of the radioactive element has
so far scattered in the environment the innocent and very low radiotoxic
equivalent of 400.8 million lethal doses."

It is a good idea to speak to the concerned waste disposal authorities to be able to learn the appropriate disposable measures. If you are more curious about electronicx then you can learn more about it on electronicx.de.
