Van de Graaff Irradiation of Materials

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/1335678· OSTI ID:1335678
Through irradiations using our 3 MeV Van de Graaf accelerator, Argonne is testing the radiation stability of components of equipment that are being used to dispense molybdenum solutions for use as feeds to 99mTc generators and in the 99mTc generators themselves. Components have been irradiated by both a direct electron beam and photons generated from a tungsten convertor.
