Use of Accelerators U-150 and RIC-14 for Radionuclide Production | |
|
||
| One of the most important uses of charged particle accelerators is the production of radioactive isotopes for an application in different fields of sciences, industry and nuclear medicine. In recent years, the emphasis is on the creation of the line accelerators, which covers various applications and ensures the efficient use of various nuclear reactions. At present our enterprise has two cyclotrons: U-150, accelerating protons up to energy of 23 MeV and RIC-14, accelerating protons up to energy of 14 MeV. Both devices are manufactured at Scientific-Research Efremov Institute of Electrophysical Apparatus (NIIEFA). The radionuclide production is realized by bombardment of the special developed universal targets using internal beam. The average beam current on the target can reach 2000 μA, which provides high productivity on radionuclides. By this time the production methods of more than 30 radionuclides are developed at our enterprise. The most widely demanded radionuclides are cobalt-57, gallium-67, germanium-68, palladium-103, cadmium-109 and indium-111. | ||
