Abstract
The present invention relates to assemblies and method for obtaining a container comprising 212Pb on the walls obtained from a 212Pb precursor isotope source. The invention provides an improved system and method for producing 212Pb in high purity without the need for processing, with high yields, and which safely and efficiently can be transported to the locations where it is to be used.
Claims30
A method of generating radioisotopes, the method comprising:
- moving a precursor isotope source from a closed position to an open position;
- unsealing the precursor isotope source to expose an interior surface of a container to the precursor isotope source in response to moving the precursor isotope source from the closed position to the open position;
- and
- allowing the precursor isotope source to decay into one or more progeny isotopes that emanate into the container.
1 more element
A system for generating radioisotopes comprising:
- a precursor isotope source configured to move between an open position and a closed position;
- and
- a valve configured to seal and isolate the precursor isotope source from an interior surface of a container when the precursor isotope source is in the closed position, wherein the valve is configured such that moving the precursor isotope source from the closed position to the open position opens the valve to expose the interior surface of the container to the precursor isotope source.
A method of generating radioisotopes, the method comprising:
- moving a precursor isotope source from a first position to a second position, wherein moving the precursor isotope source from the first position to the second position unseals the precursor isotope source to expose an interior surface of a container to the precursor isotope source;
- and
- allowing the precursor isotope source to decay into one or more progeny isotopes that emanate into the container.
