A Mass Spectrograph for Radioactive Isotopes

Mass separator for radioactive isotopes

A new isotope separator has been designed, constructed, and put into routine operation for separation of 133Xe providing a major advancement and significant cost reduction in preparation of this radioactive isotope. The design features and advantages are discussed that expedite high purity separation of relatively small quantities of this isotope. These advantages could be easily used to expedi...

A High Intensity Mass- Spectrograph for Experiments on the Separation of Isotopes

Measurement of Radioactive Caesium Isotopes by Accelerator Mass Spectrometry

The first measurements of the radioactive Cs and Cs isotopes were made on an accelerator mass spectrometer. The natural Ba interference was suppressed using an isobar separator for anions (ISA) in order to measure the less abundant isobaric Cs and Cs isotopes. It was found that the Ba interference could be suppressed by a factor of 2×10 while 25% of Cs was transmitted. Furthermore, through comp...

The Radioactive Isotopes

Radioactive isotopes in medicine: a review.

The following account is very selective: no attempt is made to deal exhaustively with radioisotope applications. In particular, practically no mention is made of treatment using, e.g., 1311, 198Au, or 90Yt, or of the literature dealing with the localizing of tumours, much of which is unprofitable. Circulatory dynamics, e.g., cardiac output, are ignored, as are most biochemical investigations wh...
