Apparatus, system and method for radioisotope production using electrons

An apparatus for producing one or more radioisotopes, wherein the apparatus comprises:

• a converter assembly comprising a high Z material configured to receive an electron beam to generate a photon beam by bremsstrahlung radiation;
• a target assembly comprising a target material configured to receive the photon beam from the converter assembly to produce the one or more radioisotopes;
• and
• a beam window located upstream of the converter and target assemblies, wherein the beam window is near an end portion of a beam line and is configured to isolate the beam line from downstream elements and to transmit the electron beam to the converter assembly during use.

An apparatus for producing one or more radioisotopes, wherein the apparatus comprises:

• a converter assembly comprising a high Z material configured to receive an electron beam to generate a photon beam by bremsstrahlung radiation;
• a target assembly comprising a target material configured to receive the photon beam from the converter assembly to produce the one or more radioisotopes;
• and
• a beam dump comprising a first shielding assembly and a second shielding assembly that are releasably couplable to one another and surround the converter and target assemblies, wherein the first and second shielding assemblies are configured to attenuate excess particles that do not contribute to generation of the one or more radioisotopes during usage of the apparatus and wherein the first and second shielding assemblies are detached for accessing the converter and/or target assemblies.

An apparatus for producing one or more radioisotopes, wherein the apparatus comprises:

• a converter assembly comprising a high Z material configured to receive an electron beam to generate a photon beam by bremsstrahlung radiation;
• a target assembly comprising a target material configured to receive the photon beam from the converter assembly to produce the one or more radioisotopes;
• and
• a beam shaping assembly that is upstream of the converter assembly and is configured to adjust an angular divergence or direction of the electron beam.
