The present invention is related to a device and a method for producing a radioisotope of interest from a target fluid irradiated with a beam of accelerated charged particles, the device includes in a circulation circuit ( 17 ): an irradiation cell ( 1 ) having a metallic insert ( 2 ) able to form a cavity ( 8 ) designed to house the target fluid and closed by an irradiation window ( 7 ), the cavity ( 8 ) including at least one inlet ( 4 ) and at least one outlet ( 5 ); a pump ( 16 ) for circulating the target fluid inside the circulation circuit ( 17 ); an external heat exchanger ( 15 ); the pump ( 16 ) and the external heat exchanger ( 15 ) forming external cooling means of the target fluid; the device means for pressurizing ( 14 ) of the circulation circuit ( 17 ) and the external cooling means of the target fluid are arranged in such a way that the target fluid remains inside the cavity ( 8 ) essentially in the liquid state during the irradiation.
