The present invention relates to an universal method for the large scale production of high-purity carrier free or non carrier added radioisotopes by applying a number of “unit operations” which are derived from physics and material science and hitherto not used for isotope production. A required number of said unit operations is combined, selected and optimized individually for each radioisotope production scheme. The use of said unit operations allows a batch wise operation or a fully automated continuous production scheme. The radioisotopes produced by the inventive method are especially suitable for producing radioisotope-labelled bioconjugates as well as particles, in particular nanoparticles and microparticles. | ||||||

The invention provides a method using accelerators to produce radio-isotopes in high quantities. The method comprises: supplying a “core” of low-enrichment fissile material arranged in a spherical array of LEU combined with water moderator. The array is surrounded by substrates which serve as multipliers and moderators as well as neutron shielding substrates. A flux of neutrons enters the low-enrichment fissile material and causes fissions therein for a time sufficient to generate desired quantities of isotopes from the fissile material. The radio-isotopes are extracted from said fissile material by chemical processing or other means. | ||||||

Method and devices for development of nuclear particle detectors, meant to operate in wide temperature range, with and without cooling that can be integrated in various arrays, able to identify radiation type and provide information on it's parameters as position, mass, energy, direction. The device will operate by enhancing the radiation detection by using materials that generates fission, transmutation and/or directly converting the energy of radiation into photonic or pressure waves, or into electricity, device acting on a plurality of conductor insulator junction making it able to identify radiation type, spectrum, direction and position usable for a large range of electronics from detectors to complex imagers.The method relies on an assembly of three components with generic function as generator, insulator and absorber, in different aggregation states, dimensioned by calculating the effective length for the specific moving entity i.e. fission products, charged particles, recoiled nuclei, driving to a wide range of micro-nano-hetero structures and applications. The resulted devices are structural and dimensional varieties of method's application in specific configurations. Applications are in thermal nuclear fission reactors, non-proliferation, radioactive fields measurements, space. Liquid materials are used inside the device to serve as damage free absorbers detection scintillation restorer, and carriers of resulted fission products and transmutation nuclei draining them out the reactor's active zone into specialized measurement devices. The electricity generator device uses repetitive nano-hetero-structure generically called “CIci”, and may be used in combinations. | ||||||
