Abstract
A target system for irradiation of molybdenum with charged particles from an accelerator to produce technetium and molybdenum radioisotopes. The target system comprises a molybdenum-100 material brazed with a brazing alloy to a backing material. The backing material preferably comprises a dispersion-strengthened copper composite. The brazing alloy comprises copper and phosphorus.
Claims10
A molybdenum-100 target assembly comprising:
- a sintered molybdenum-100 disc;
- a target holder provided with a recess having a flat surface for receiving therein the sintered molybdenum-100 disc, the target holder comprising a dispersion-strengthened copper composite;
- and
- an intermediate layer comprising a brazing alloy of copper and phosphorus therebetween,
- wherein the intermediate layer is engagingly brazed in between the sintered molybdenum-100 disc and the flat surface of the recess in the target holder.
