Estimation of Os, Ir, Sc, In Isotope Production at Electron Linear Accelerators

  • 1. NSC KIPT, Kharkov (Ukraine)

Description

Preliminary data on the production of medical radionuclides 47 Sc, 114 In, 1''92 Ir and 192m Os by the photonuclear method are reported. The targets were irradiated in the Bremsstrahlung beam of the NSC KIPT accelerator LU-20 at an accelerated electron energy of 29 MeV and a beam current of 10 μA. The required isotopes were produced in the following channels of nuclear reactions: 51V(γ,α)47Sc; 48 Ti(γ,p)47 Sc; 193Ir(γ,n)192Ir; 192Ir; 192Os(γ,n)191Os; 191mOs; 115In(γ,n)114 In. The useful product yields (specific activities) at the end of irradiation, normalized to 1 hour of target irradiation at an average beam current of 1 μA, were obtained
