Obtaining of ¹⁸⁶Re for Nuclear Medicine Using 13 MeV Deuterons

Abstract:

Results of obtaining of ¹⁸⁶Re for nuclear medicine using 13 MeV deuterons were presented. Cross section and yield of ¹⁸⁶W(d,2n)¹⁸⁶Re reaction were experimentally measured in the deuterons energy range from the threshold up to 13 MeV. The total yield of ¹⁸⁶Re in the energy range 12.5/6.43 MeV from natural tungsten was measured as (2.3 ± 0.15) MBq/(uA·h). The yield of the ¹⁸⁶Re from enriched ¹⁸⁶W for deuteron energy 12.5 MeV was evaluated as (8.2 ± 0.13)MBq/(uA·h). Possibility of ¹⁸⁶Re obtaining in sufficient quantities for a radiopharmaceuticals synthesis was established. On the basis of data on the yield ¹⁸⁶Re it is confidently expected that using of Tomsk Polytechnic University cyclotron can produce enough amount of ¹⁸⁶Re for using in nuclear medicine
