Medical radioisotope production at TRIUMF
Description
The production for research of 123I at TRIUMF via spallation is described, together with some medical applications. The production of 123I of greater isotopic purity, via a third extracted beam from the TRIUMF cyclotron of 60- to 100-MeV energy, is discussed. Other nuclides to be produced for research are listed. Arrangements with Atomic Energy of Canada Limited for collaborative commercial radiopharmaceutical distribution are described, together with the necessary hot laboratory facilities, a second cyclotron, and target irradiation faclities
