Compact Accelerator Based Neutron Source for 99mTc Production
The radioisotope Technetium-99m (99mTc) is used in 85% of all nuclear medicine procedures. 99mTc is produced from its precursor Molybdenum-99 (99Mo), whose production is nearly all from one of only five ageing research reactors. Recently a number of accelerator-based methods have been proposed to fill this gap and to diversify this supply chain. In this paper we present a compact (4 m) 10 mA, 3...
متن کاملA compact neutron generator using a field ionization source.
Field ionization as a means to create ions for compact and rugged neutron sources is pursued. Arrays of carbon nano-fibers promise the high field-enhancement factors required for efficient field ionization. We report on the fabrication of arrays of field emitters with a density up to 10(6) tips∕cm(2) and measure their performance characteristics using electron field emission. The critical issue...
متن کاملOptimised BNCT facility based on a compact D-D neutron generator
Background: Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) is a very promising treatment for patients suffering gliobastoma multiforme, an aggressive type of brain cancer, where conventional radiation therapies fail. Thermal neutrons are suitable for the direct treatment of cancers which are located at near-tissue-surface deep-seated tumors need harder, epithermal neutron energy spectra. Materials and Me...
متن کاملLow Energy Fusion for a Safe and Compact Neutron Source
Neutrons are primarily produced at large international facilities using either spallation reactions or nuclear fission. There is a demand for small scale neutron production for use at hospitals and borders for a variety of applications. Isolated fission sources and sealed tube deuterium-tritium fusors are able to provide a reliable neutron flux at small scale but are impractical due to the asso...
متن کاملCompact Pulsed Hadron Source - a University-based Accelerator Platform for Multidisciplinary Neutron and Proton Applications*
During the past decades, large-scale national neutron sources were developed in Asia, Europe, and North America. Complementing such efforts, compact hadron beam complexes and neutron sources intended to serve primarily universities and industrial institutes were proposed and some have recently been established. Responding to the demand in China for multidisciplinary fundamental and applied rese...
