1 Cockcroft Institute Postgraduate Lectures: Applications of Accelerators Production of Radioisotopes Hywel Owen Cockcroft Institute/University of Manchester
2 A Tale of Two Physicists Ernest O. Lawrence
3 Emilio Segrè and the 37-inch cyclotron deflector foil In February 1937 I received a letter from Lawrence containing more radioactive stuff. In particular, it contained a molybdenum foil that had been part of the cyclotron's deflector. I suspected at once that it might contain element 43. The simple reason was that deuteron bombardment of molybdenum should give isotopes of element 43 through well-established nuclear reactions. My sample, the molybdenum deflector lip, had certainly been intensely bombarded with deuterons, and I noted that one of its faces was much more radioactive than the other. I then dissolved only the material of the active face, in this way achieving a first important concentration of the activity.

5 Isotope production today Three main areas: Conventional short-lived isotopes: F18, C11, N13 Hospital-based Commercial solutions widespread Compact low-cost accelerators Tc99m Reactor-based production mainly A number of accelerator methods exist PET Radionuclides Alpha-emitters, Ra223, At211, Bi213 Several methods exist CERN MEDICIS Nuclide Half-Life Positron (kev) F min 630 C m 960 N-13 10m 1200 O-15 2m 1730 Ge d 1900 Gammas (kev) 511(2)

Uranium enrichment 5% for power, e.g. PWR 20% for research 95% for Mo-99 (or bombs) LEU < 20% HEU >20% 95% of global HEU use is for Mo-99 production USA does not like HEU being shipped around in boxes
