    Abstract: A system and method for producing radioisotopes such as molybdenum-99. The system comprises a first accelerator, a second accelerator, a first beamline, a second beamline, and a target. Using a pair of accelerators, beamlines are preferably fired at a target from opposite directions, thereby irradiating the target from both sides. The system can further comprise a target cooling system utilizing gaseous helium, a modular local target shielding comprised of boxes of either metal shot with liquid coolant or steel with concrete, and a hot cell for loading and unloading target disks.
