Abstract
The present disclosure generally relates to materials, processes, generators, and/or systems, for generating radioisotope. The present disclosure also generally relates to ceramic materials comprising radioisotope suitable for use in a radioisotope generator. The present disclosure also generally relates to processes, generators and/or systems, for producing and capturing radioisotope. The present disclosure also generally relates to the preparation of radioisotope solutions for use in radiopharmacy and/or other clinical applications.
Claims22
A 220Rn emanating tantalum oxide substrate comprising a 228Th oxide layer disposed on and as a part of a surface of the tantalum oxide substrate, where the 228Th oxide layer permits emanation from the surface of the tantalum oxide substrate of gaseous 220Rn produced by radioactive decay of 228Th in the 228Th oxide layer.
A 220Rn emanating tantalum oxide substrate comprising a 228Th oxide layer, containing at least 200 MBq of 228Th, disposed on and as a part of a surface of the tantalum oxide substrate, where the 228Th oxide layer permits emanation from the surface of the tantalum oxide substrate of gaseous 22Rn produced by radioactive decay of 228Th in the 228Th oxide layer, and the 228Th oxide layer is associated with the tantalum oxide substrate through 228Th migration into the tantalum oxide substrate such that the emanating gaseous 220Rn contains less than 0.1% 228Th as a contaminant.
