A program has been undertaken for the production, processing, and distribution of cyclotron-produced, carrier-free radioisotopes on a world-wide basis. Although cyclotron-produced radioisotopes are inherently more expensive than reactor-produced radioisotopes, several conditious are enumerated under which their use is desirable, and in many cases mandatory. Several new isotopes, previously considered difficult to obtain, are now readily available. Procedures are detailed for the separation of 17 radioisotopes in carrier-free form: Be/sup 7/, Na/sup 22/, V/sup 48/, Mn/sup 52/, Ga/sup 67/, As/sup 74/, Sr/sup 85/, Y/.sup 88/, Cd/sup 109/, In/sup 111/, up 207/. Thick target yields are given for production of these radioisotopes from cyclotron irradiations with deuterons of 15 Mev energy and with protons of 8, 15, and 20 Mev energies. (auth)
