Abstract
A national medical cyclotron for Australia is to be constructed and operated by ANSTO at the Royal Price Alfred Hospital, Sydney, New South Wales. The facility will comprise a compact (-30 MeV) cyclotron in a densely shielded building, radiopharmaceutical manufacturing plant and a positron emission tomography (PET) unit. the cyclotron will be able to produce the very short-lived radioisotopes suitable for PET studies and some longer-lived radioisotopes for distribution to hospitals throughout Australia. Neither of these types of radioisotopes can be produced in a nuclear reactor. This booklet outlines the production of cyclotron radioisotopes and their application in medicine. It also reviews occupational and environmental safety and quantifies the possible risk to the general public.
