Title: Extraction-chromatographic affinage in gadolinium-153 preparation production technology

Journal Article · · Transactions of the American Nuclear Society
OSTI ID:107477

The gadolinium 153 preparation is used for production of medical gamma-sources which are applicable in bone densimeters for early diagnostics of osteoporosis. This preparation must meet strict requirements with respect to the content of europium radionuclides and specific activity. In The Research Institute of Atomic Reactors (RIAR) the gadolinium 153 is produced by neutron irradiation of Europium 151. This process is described.
