[0122] In this first embodiment, the method is aimed at producing a single generator.
[0123] The method first comprises performing n times the following sequence of steps a) to d) by means of a single first chromatographic column 10 containing a stationary phase 20:
[0124] a) circulating an aqueous solution A1 comprising thorium-232, radium-228 and nitric acid through the column 10 as long as the retention of radium-228 by the stationary phase 20 is at least equal to a threshold value;
[0125] b) washing the stationary phase 20 with an aqueous solution A2 comprising nitric acid to remove from the stationary phase 20 the thorium-232 present in the interstitial volume of the stationary phase when the retention of radium-228 is below a threshold value;
[0126] c) Radium-228 is eluted from the stationary phase 20 with aqueous solution A3 containing EDTA as complexing agent, and will contain 228 The eluate or aqueous solution A4 of radium-228 in the form of Ra-EDTA complex i...
