The same element can have different isotopes that react the same chemically, but have different degrees of stability. Carbon for instance, ¹²C is stable, but ¹⁴C wants to emit a couple particles and turn into Nitrogen. Both are naturally occurring isotopes.

No, he's right. Isotope is the correct, operative word. The news reports have indicated that in Fukushima the material officials indicated could escape is an isotope of iodine.

Just what I read. I assume it's a byproduct rather than core material.

Where is the regs on ¹³¹I?

I-131 is a major uranium, plutonium and indirectly thorium fission product, comprising nearly 3% of the total products of fission.
