Description

Iodine-124 is a radionuclide with a 4.18 day half-life which decays by positron emission (23.3%) and electron capture (76.7%). Details on the preparation of this radionuclide via the 124Te(p,n)124I nuclear reaction are described. A reusable target uniquely suited for low energy cyclotron irradiations has been described along with specific characteristics for the dry distillation recovery of the 124I species. (orig.)
