Segmented reaction chamber for radioisotope production

A reactor operable to produce an isotope, the reactor comprising:

• a fusion portion comprising a target chamber that substantially encircles a space, wherein the target chamber is configured to house a target material that is operable to produce a neutron flux within the target chamber via a fusion reaction;
• and
• a fission portion for containing a controlled nuclear fission reaction, the fission portion segmented into a plurality of independent compartments, wherein the plurality of independent compartments are positioned within the space and the plurality of independent compartment are each configured for containing a parent material in an aqueous solution, wherein the parent material interacts with a portion of the neutron flux to produce the isotope via a fission reaction.
