โฆ Synopsis
Using the technology described for electrodeposition of elemental tellurium, it is possible to bombard a target with 2 kW of proton beam power without significant loss of radio iodine. If Te-123 enriched to 96% is used as target material, the I-123 yield would be about 1 Curie with a 0.23% I-124 impurity for a 2-h bomardment with 130 muA of 15 MeV protons. The same I-124 impurity level can be maintained with a lower enrichment of Te-123 by reducing the proton energy to 11.5 meV, but with a consequent reduction in I-123 yield.

As supplement and partial replacement to the target station at Injector I cyclotron (l), it was decided to use the new Injector I1 cyclotron of the Paul Scherrer Institute also for isotope production purposes, beside its supply of the ring cyclotron with pre-accelerated protons. Thus, it had to be e
Excitation functions, thin-target and cumulative yields for the proton-induced reactions on ~27I targets were measured in the 67.5-to 5.3-MeV energy region. These results were used primarily to define the proton-energy ranges and target thicknesses to optimize radionuclide yields and purities for 12
