A fluorine-18 recovery system using an anion-exchange side-stream column was designed for the H/sub 2//sup 18/O target at the ORNL 86-inch cyclotron. The extent of radiolysis was determined and a catalyst vessel, containing a palladium catalyst, was incorporated to recombine the radiolysis product gases. The preliminary design of an externally bombarded gas target for the production of /sup 18/F/sub 2/ from /sup 18/O/sub 2/ was also completed.
