Abstract
We proposed aprototype facility for the generation of radioisotopes with accelerator neutrons by deuterons. The neutrons are producedbynatC(d,n) with 40MeV 2 mA deuteron beams, and about 8.1 TBq/week of 99Mois produced by irradiating an enriched 100Mo sample with the neutrons.High-quality 99mTc can be separatedfrom an irradiated 100MoO3 sample by thermo-chromatographic separation.In this contribution we present the system to produce medical radioisotopes, such as 99Mo, 90Y, and 67Cu, and experimental studies on 99Mo and 67Cu produced by using accelerator neutrons.
