Title: Reactor production of Thorium-229

Abstract

Limited availability of ²²⁹Th for clinical applications of ²¹³Bi necessitates investigation of alternative production routes. In reactor production, ²²⁹Th is produced from neutron transmutation of ²²⁶Ra, ²²⁸Ra, ²²⁷Ac and ²²⁸Th. Here, we evaluate irradiations of ²²⁶Ra, ²²⁸Ra, and ²²⁷Ac targets at the ORNL High Flux Isotope Reactor.
