✦ Synopsis
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 elaborated a concept for a safe production of radioisotopes on the splitted beamline (2). The fixed proton energy is 72 MeV, the beam current up to 100 pA. The target station had to be connected with the hot cells located in the neighbouring laboratory.
