Isotope Generator System and Method of Generating Isotope

An isotope generator for producing an isotope for Targeted Alpha Therapy (TAT) from a parent isotope, the generator comprising:

• at least one fluid mover configured to be in selective fluid communication with an emanation chamber holding the parent isotope therein;
• and
• at least one decay chamber in selective fluid communication with the emanation chamber,
• wherein the at least one fluid mover is configured to selectively generate gas flow from the emanation chamber to the at least one decay chamber, whereby a gaseous daughter isotope from the parent isotope in the emanation chamber is entrained in the gas flow and delivered into the at least one decay chamber,
• wherein the at least one decay chamber is configured to retain a gaseous intermediary daughter isotope therein to enable decay of the gaseous intermediary daughter isotope to the isotope for TAT and its daughter isotope,
• wherein the at least one fluid mover is configured to selectively generate fluid flow so that the isotope for TAT and its daughter isotope in the at least one decay chamber is evacuated from the at least one decay chamber.

A method for producing Pb-212 for Targeted Alpha Therapy (TAT) from a parent isotope, the method comprising:

• selectively generating gas flow, using at least one fluid mover, from an emanation chamber holding the parent isotope to at least one decay chamber so that a gaseous intermediary daughter isotope emanating from the parent isotope in the emanation chamber is entrained in the gas flow and delivered into the at least one decay chamber;
• retaining the gaseous daughter isotope within the at least one decay chamber for a selective amount of time so that the gaseous daughter isotope decays to Pb-212 and its daughter isotope;
• and
• selectively generating fluid flow, using the at least one fluid mover, from the at least one decay chamber to an isotope collection chamber so that Pb-212 and its daughter isotope in the decay chamber is evacuated from the at least one decay chamber.
