The aim of this review is to make the reader familiar with currently available radiometals, their production modes, capacities, and quality concerns related to their medical use, as well as new emerging radiometals and irradiation technologies from the perspective of their diagnostic and theranostic applications. Production methods of 177Lu serve as an example of various issues related to the production yield, specific activity, radionuclidic and chemical purity, and production economy. Other radiometals that are currently used or explored for potential medical applications, with particular focus on their theranostic value, are discussed. Using radiometals for diagnostic imaging and therapy is on the rise. The high demand for radiometals for medical use prompts investigations towards using alternative irradiation reactions, while using existing nuclear reactors and accelerator facilities. This review discusses these production capacities and what is necessary to cover the growing demand for theranostic nuclides.

“…Despite the widespread use of radioisotopes in the world, the production of these is available only in developed countries. Although, the production of radioisotopes includes a nuclear reactor [1][2][3][4][5], a source of alpha-beryllium [6][7][8] and an accelerator [9]. In these recent years, global demand for molybdenum radioisotopes has increased significantly, with 90% of these was producted by five old reactors located in Canada, Belgium, the Netherlands, South Africa and France.…”

Neutrons are produced in accelerators by irradiating heavy targets with an electron or proton beam. Produced neutrons are of high energy. The purpose of our work is optimization the neutron flux by MCNP-6 code for production the thermal neutron flux using a moderator and for convertation the fast neutron flux into a thermal neutron flux. In this article, we are interested in a thermal neutron flux due it is useful for method of neutron activation analysis. In conventional sources, the moderator is usually a large volume of water or paraffin around the source. Initially, fast neutrons have energy above 1 MeV, and then slow down to energies below 1 eV.
