Embodiment Construction

[0017]The present invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings, and some embodiments of the invention are shown, but are not all embodiments. In fact, the present invention can be implemented in many different forms, and is not to be construed as being limited to the embodiments set forth herein; in contrast, providing these embodiments are to satisfy the applicable legal requirements. Unless otherwise specified in the context, the singular form "one", "one", "one", "one", "one", "one", "" "," "", "", "," one "," "", "one", and "" "" in the appended claims include complex refers.

[0018]The target irradiation system 100 of the present invention includes elements that will be exposed to reactors (preferably Candu (Canadian deuterium) reactors), and elements of CANDU reactive piles attached to the core of the reactor. The system also includes a target tank 190 designed to interface with other system components (Figure 2A with2B). Multiple component...

Abstract

A target irradiation system for irradiating a radioisotope target in a vessel penetration of a fission reactor, including a target elevator assembly including a body portion defining a central bore and an open bottom end, a center tube that is disposed within the central bore of the body portion, a target basket that is slidably receivable within the center tube, and a winch that is connected to the target basket by a cable, wherein the target basket is configured to receive the radioisotope target therein and be lowered into the vessel penetration of the reactor when irradiating the radioisotope target.

Description

[0001]Priority requirements[0002]The present patent application claims priority to the US Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 723, 328, filed on August 27, 2018, which is incorporated herein by reference.Technical field[0003]The presently disclosed inventive general relates to a system for irradiation of radioisotoprotic targets in a nuclear reactor, and more particularly to a system for irradiating a radioisotoprotic target in a heavy water.Background technique[0004]锝 -99M (TC-99M) is the most commonly used radioisotope in nuclear medicine (such as medical diagnostic imaging). TC-99M (M is metastal) is usually injected into the patient and used for internal organ imaging of the patient when used with certain devices. However, the half-life of TC-99M is only six (6) hours. Therefore, the Ease of obtaining TC-99M sources are particularly interested in and / or needed in nuclear medicine.[0005]Given that the half-life of TC-99M is short, TC-99M is usually obtained by MO-99 / TC-99M ...
