No. However one of the fission products produced is Iodine-131 and it appears in the fallout. Iodine-131 is a dangerous beta and gamma emitter with a halflife of 8.05 days, it concentrates in the thyroid gland and can selectively kill it or cause cancers in it. Fortunately the halflife is only just over a week, because it then practically disappears in about 5 to 6 weeks. This allows Iodine-131 contaminated food and drink (e.g. fresh milk) to be stored and then safely used when the Iodine-131 has decayed. This also makes it possible to protect the thyroid gland by saturating it with ordinary Iodine (usually as potassium iodide pills) until the Iodine-131 has decayed.
