In the early part of this decade, a research effort was initiated at the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory (LASL) to investigate the feasibility of utilizing proton-induced spallation reactions as a means of preparing radionuclides of known or potential value in the health sciences. The irradiation source consists of the excess 800 MeV proton beam that reaches the main beam stop of the Clinton P. Anderson Meson Physics Facility (LAMPF). A description is given of the LAMPF accelerator and the Isotope Production Facility.
