A radiochemical separation of spallogenic 88Zr in the carrier-free state for radioisotopic photoneutron sources

  • 1. Los Alamos Scientific Lab., N.Mex. (USA)

Description

As the precursor of its 88Y daughter, 88Zr could be advantageously included in the active component of the 88Y-Be photoneutron source for several reasons. The spallation of Mo targets with medium-energy protons at LAMPF procedure has been developed to separate radiozirconium from the target material and various spallogenic impurities. 88Zr can consequently be obtained carrier-free and in quantitative yield.
