Abstract
Excitation functions of proton, deuteron and alpha induced nuclear reactions on enriched tellurium and antimony isotopes and also natural antimony were calculated by ALICE/ASH, EMPIRE-3.2.2 and TALYS-1.6 nuclear codes. Therefrom, the production yield of 124I nuclide and its formed impurities were calculated by using the evaluation results. The calculated cross sections were compared with available experimental values in literatures. According to results, 124Te(p,n)124I reaction is the method of choice due to formation of higher amount of 124I nuclide and low levels of 125I as an major concern in 124I production.
