Co/sup 58/ was prepared by the reaction Ni/sup 58/(n,p) in carrierfree Co/sup 58/. Cobalt-free nickel was prepared by anion exchange, and nickel was precipitated as carbonate. By the irradiation of 50 g of nickel carbonate for 60 hr, 230 mu c of Co/sup 58/ were prepared at maximum. Since Co/sup 58/ was formed with fast neutrons, the fast neutron flux was measured by this reaction and was determined to be 2.1 x 10/sup 12/ n/cm/sec. Yields of other carrier-free radioisotopes from nickel reactions with neutrons are also given. (auth)
