Abstract: Radioisotope production system includes an electrical field system and a magnetic field system that are configured to direct a particle beam of charged particles along a beam path within an acceleration chamber. The magnetic field system is energized by a drive current to generate a magnetic flux into the acceleration chamber for controlling the particle beam. The radioisotope production system also includes a target system configured to hold a target material and receive the particle beam. The radioisotope production system also includes a monitoring system that is configured to: (a) determine an operating parameter of the radioisotope production system as the particle beam is directed toward the target material and (b) change the drive current, thereby changing the magnetic flux, based on the operating parameter.

Abstract: System includes a target assembly having a production chamber. The target assembly includes an electrode and a conductive base exposed to the production chamber. The target assembly has fluidic ports that provide access to the production chamber. The system also includes a fluidic-control system having a storage vessel and fluidic lines that connect to the fluidic ports. The storage vessel and the production chamber are in flow communication through at least one of the fluidic lines. The system also includes a power source that is configured to be electrically connected to the electrode and the conductive base. The production chamber, the electrode, and the conductive base form an electrolytic cell when an electrolytic solution is disposed in the production chamber. The power source is configured to apply voltage to the electrode and the conductive base to deposit a solid target along conductive base.
