In order to prepare a useful radioactive substance from radionuclides included in high-level radioactive waste and the like, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for preparing a radioactive substance including a muon irradiation step for obtaining a first radionuclide by causing negative muons to be incident onto a radioactive target nuclide and triggering a nuclear muon capture reaction. The prepared radioactive substance includes at least one of the first radionuclide and a second radionuclide that is at least one type of a descendant nuclide obtained from the first radionuclide through radioactive decay. An embodiment of the present invention also provides the radioactive substance.
A method for producing a radioactive substance comprising a muon irradiation step for obtaining a first radionuclide through a muon nuclear capture reaction by irradiating a target nuclide which is a radionuclide with negative muons,
A radioactive substance comprising at least one of a first radionuclide and a second radionuclide, the first radionuclide obtained through a muon nuclear capture reaction by irradiating a target nuclide with negative muons, and the second radionuclide being at least one descendant nuclide obtained from the first radionuclide via radioactive decay, wherein the target nuclide is a radionuclide.
