What is the nuclear spin of this atom?

[unscientific]

Homework Statement

A singly ionized atom exhibits hyperfine structure in a $^3P_1 \rightarrow ^3S_1$ transition. Assuming $I$ is greater than $J$ and given that the $^3S_1$ levels are split by $66~GHz$ and $54~GHz$, find the nuclear spin $I$.

Homework Equations

E_{HFS} = \frac{A}{2} \left[ F(F+1) - I(I+1) - J(J+1) \right]

The Attempt at a Solution

Since $J=1$, the $^3S_1$ level is split by the higher level $F=I+1$ and lower level $F = I$.

\frac{(I+1)(I+2) - I(I+1) - J(J+1)}{I(I+1) - I(I+1) - J(J+1)} = \frac{66}{54}
\frac{2I}{2} = 1.22

I get $I = 1.22$, which is strange as shouldn't nuclear spin be either in multiples of $\frac{1}{2}$?
