PROCESS AND DEVICE FOR PRODUCTION OF RADIONUCLIDE USING ACCELERATOR

摘要

A target material, which is dissolved or mixed in liquid, is introduced into a target container, and dried inside of the target container to reduce its liquid component. Subsequently, the target material is irradiated with a beam from a particle accelerator. This allows remotely and repeatedly producing a radionuclide such as technetium 99m and molybdenum 99, which are radioactive pharmaceuticals in high demand, using one target container.
