Proposal for the production of carrier-free osmium-191
Description
The 191Os→/sup 191m/Ir generator currently uses neutron-irradiated osmium as the source of the parent nuclide, which results in low specific activity of 191Os. Proton-induced spallation of lead targets might be a source of higher specific activity 191Os for use in a carrier-free generator system. The availability of 185Os, another product of the spallation reaction, will allow breakthrough studies to assess the feasibility of such a generator
