PURPOSE: A target recovery and cooling apparatus for producing a radioactive isotope is provided to generate a radioactive isotope easily by the usage of a fluid target such as a liquid or a gas. CONSTITUTION: In a target recovery and cooling apparatus for producing a radioactive isotope, a supplying container(2) supplies a fluid target, and syringe pump(3) takes a fluid target of a constant amount from the supplying container to send the taken fluid target to the next stage. A six-port valve(4) is connected to the syringe pump, and outputs a fluid in the predetermined direction. A target chamber(TC) is supplied with the fluid target from the six-port valve, and generates a radioactive isotope when a proton beam is incident to the fluid target. A helium container(5) is connected to the target chamber, and pushes the fluid target incorporating the radioactive isotope to the six-port valve. A recovery container(6) is connected to the helium container, and extracts the radioactive isotope from the fluid target to recover the fluid target. A cooling part(7) is installed at the front part of the target chamber, and cools a heat generated at the target chamber.

Apparatus for radioisotope production includes housing, a plurality of target disks inside the housing and a curved windows positioned convex inward toward the disks. During operation, coolant flows though the housing across the disks and windows while electron beams passes through the window and the disks. The window temperature increases, rising the fastest in the middle of the window where the electron beam hits the window. A flat window would buckle because the center would deform during thermal expansion against the relatively unaffected periphery, but the curved window shape allows the window to endure high thermal and mechanical stress created by a combination of heating from the electron beam(s) and elevated pressure from coolant on the inside of the window. Such a window may be used for applications in which a pressurized coolant acts on only one side of the window.

A system and method for radioisotope production uses fast-neutron-caused fission of depleted or naturally occurring uranium targets in an irradiation chamber. Fast fission can be enhanced by having neutrons encountering the target undergo scattering or reflection to increase each neutron's probability of causing fission (n, f) reactions in U-238. The U-238 can be deployed as one or more layers sandwiched between layers of neutron-reflecting material, or as rods surrounded by neutron-reflecting material. The gaseous fission products can be withdrawn from the irradiation chamber on a continuous basis, and the radioactive iodine isotopes (including I-131) extracted.

The present invention relates to a method for producing beta emitting radiopharmaceuticals. The method provides to produce, through a primary accelerator, a low energy proton beam, namely with an energy lower than 70 MeV, preferably with an energy ranging from 32 to 45 MeV, more preferably with energy ranging from 38 to 42 MeV; the low energy proton beam is irradiated on a source target so as to generate a neutral atom beam; the neutral atoms are ionized, extracted by acceleration and preferably subjected to a first focusing; the first focused beam is subjected to a mass separation such to generate a isobaric beam of radioisotopes. The isobaric beam therefore is preferably subjected to a second focusing and it is sent for a predetermined time on a deposition target. Then the irradiated deposition target is subjected to chemical treatment so as to obtain pure beta emitting radiopharmaceuticals.
