Development Of The irradiation Facility at The Batan's Cyclotron for radioisotope production of Fluor-18

The irradiation facility for producing radioisotope of F-18 using enriched water target,H218O,has been installed at the BATAN 's Cyclotron. Radioisotope of F-18,pure positron emitter (β+=100%; t12=109.6 m,is widely used for preparing PETradiopharmaceuticals. The irradiation facility designed,fabricated and installed consists of target loading and unloading system. The target chamber and its window (thickness=100μΜ)were made of stainless steel with a volume capacity of 1.4mL for water target enriched with 18O.A vacuum window wiyh the stainless steel with a volume capacity of 1.4 mL for water the proton energy from 26.5 MeV was made of aluminum foil materials as a 'degrader' to lower experimental results using either natural pure water or enriched water (18Ο∼ 3.16% Al) targets show the performance of the target irradiation system is suitable for radioisotope production of F-18
