PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a self-shielding target for isotope production systems.SOLUTION: A self-shielding target for isotope production systems is provided. The target includes a body configured to encase a target material and having a passageway for a charged particle beam, and a component within the body, the charged particle beam inducing radioactivity in the component. Additionally, at least one portion of the body is formed from a material having a density value greater than a density value of aluminum to shield the component.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4 |
