  • Method of producing radionuclides
    Patent number: 9047998
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of producing radionuclides. According to the method, a target medium comprising at least a target nuclide material is irradiated in an irradiation zone with neutron irradiation. Radionuclides form in the target nuclide material as a result of the irradiation, and at least some of the formed radionuclides are ejected from the target nuclide material. The ejected radionuclides are then captured and collected in a carbon-based recoil capture material which does not have an empty cage structure at crystallographic level.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 10, 2011
    Date of Patent: June 2, 2015
    Assignee: The South African Nuclear Energy Corporation Limited
    Inventors: David Randall Jansen, Geert Cornelis Krijger, Zvonimir Ivica Kolar, Jan Rijn Zeevaart
