Abstract: A neutron producing target is irradiated with a deuteron beam accelerated by a deuteron accelerator to generate neutrons, and first samples are directly irradiated with the fast neutrons produced in the neutron producing target. The fast neutrons, which have initially been scattered by a nuclear reaction in the first samples and have passed through the first samples, are multi-scattered by a neutron scattering material made of a light element disposed around the neutron producing target and the first samples to generate, by a nuclear reaction with the first samples and second samples, various radioisotopes in large amounts at the same time from the first samples and the second samples. Thereby, a new RI production technology can generate various radioisotopes in large amounts at the same time.
