A target grid assembly for employment in a target assembly used to produce radioisotopes by bombarding a target material contained in the target assembly with a particle beam. The target assembly includes the target grid assembly, the target window and a target body enclosed in a target housing. The target body defines a target reservoir for receiving the target material and the target window serves to seal the target reservoir.The target grid assembly includes a vacuum window and a target grid. The target grid defines a target grid portion, a helium input and a helium output. The target grid portion defines a plurality of target grid supports which are configured to form a plurality of target grid oblong openings. The vacuum window is supported against the upstream side of the target grid portion and the target window is supported between the downstream side and the target body. A helium space is defined by the plurality of target grid oblong openings between the target window and the vacuum window and is configured such that helium is injectable into the helium space via the helium input and extractable from the helium space via the helium output to form a helium cooling regime.
