100 - 150 milliCuries for thyroid ablation
( which detroys remnants of thyroid tissue after the gland has been surgically removed)
7 - 10 milliCuries for Graves disease ..
but the Graves disease patient might very well
be more radioactive , because most of the ablative dose is excreted very quickly.
A little more info I131 has beta AND gamma emisions
gamma at something over 350 KeV , as i recall.
