“…Boztosun et al [5][6] have been measured the subsequent transition energies and half-lives of zinc isotopes via photonuclear reactions. Aygun et al [7] have reported the energy levels of 92m Nb with the help of photonuclear reaction. In this context, to see the applicability of cLINACs for different nuclei would be interesting and useful when it is considered that the number of cLINACs is increasing every passing day.…”

In this study, photonuclear reaction of 127 I has been studied by using bremsstrahlung photons of 18 MeV endpoint energy via a clinical linear accelerator. As a result of this, 127 I(γ,n) 126 I and 127 I(n,γ) 128 I reactions have been observed. The gamma photons emitted by the excited nuclei have been counted with an HPGe detector. The experimental data have been analyzed by using gf3 and ROOT spectrum programs and all the energy transitions have been calculated. The results have been compared with the literature values.

“…Он преимущественно образуется в результате реакции 93 Nb(n,2n) 92m Nb с пороговой энергией 8,9 МэВ и довольно высоким сечением реакции ~1,4 барн в диапазоне энергий нейтронов 12-18 МэВ. Возможно также протекание фотоядерной реакции 93 Nb(γ,n) 92m Nb [37]. Не следует исключать и образование долгоживущих радионуклидов (ДРН) 182,183 Ta и 95,96 Nb из примесей вольфрама и молибдена в ниобиевой мишени по (n,p) реакции.…”

The accumulation of unwanted long-lived radionuclides during the production of 18F-based radiopharmaceuticals using the IBA Cyclone 18/9 HC cyclotron is considered. Using high-resolution gamma-ray spectrometry with HPGe detectors, the identification of radionuclides and the assessment of activity in activated components (stripper, target entrance window) of the "medical" 18-MeV cyclotron IBA Cyclone 18/9 were carried out. More than 20 unwanted radionuclides have been identified in irradiated water. Various mechanisms for the entry of longlived radionuclides into irradiated water are described. The results obtained are of great importance for optimizing the methods of radioactive waste management in the production of radiopharmaceuticals and, as a result, minimizing the radiation exposure of personnel.
