Production of ~188W in SM High-flux Reactor at SSC RF RIAR

摘要

Principal results of the RIAR technology development for production of tingsten-188 are reported. In particular, problems of tungsten-188 production by irradiation in the SM research high-flux reactor as well as radiochemical processing of irradiated targets are discussed, estimated cross-sections of radionuclides of tungsten-188 production chain are given, and the technology flow-sheet developed by RIAR is briefly described including targets dissolution and purification of tungsten-188 from impurities.
