Production of /sup 123/I by irradiating /sup 124/Xe with 20-30-MeVprotons
The authors calculated on the basis of statistical theory the excitation functions of all the nuclear reactions leading to the formation of /sup 124/Xe with 15-30-MeV protons. The authors determined the physical yields of isotopes for a thick target and the optimum conditions ensuring high efficiency of /sup 123/I production without the admixture of undesirable radioisotope impurities. Recommendations on organizing /sup 123/I production on cyclotrons with an energy of 22-30 MeV are given. It was shown that this method makes it possible to use 22-30-MeV cyclotrons and that the problem of adequate supply of medically important /sup 123/I radioisotope that would be free from the /sup 124/impurity would probably be solved.
