Abstract
The invention relates to a container (100, 901, 902, 903, 904, 905, 906, 907, 908, 909, 910) for the production of radioisotopes by irradiation of a precursor material formed by a one-piece metal casing, the wall of said casing including one thin portion (130) having a thickness of between 5 and 100 μm, the remainder having a thickness greater than 100 μm. The invention also relates to a method for obtaining the container and to a target assembly using same.
