Abstract:An available supply of high specific activity radioisotopes was identified by the Department of Energy as a critical priority to the development and eventual deployment of next-generation medical diagnostic and cancer therapy tools. A radioisotope mass separator, located at the Missouri University Research Reactor (MURR) Center, was constructed to provide radioactive ion beams for the separation and production of high specific activity lanthanides used in radiopharmacology. A novel thermal ionization cavity (T… Show more
