TRANSPORTABLE MANUFACTURING FACILITY FOR RADIOACTIVE MATERIALS.

摘要

The invention relates to a manufacturing facility (100) comprising a building structure which encloses working space of the manufacturing facility (100), the building structure beeing designed to house a cyclotron (112) and to be transportable by truck or rail to a destination site, wherein the manufacturing facility (100), except for lacking a cyclotron (112) during transport, is substantially equipped during transport to produce and package a radio pharmaceutical. The invention also relates to a method of providing a manufacturing facility (100) for producing a radioactive material, the method comprising the steps of designing the manufacturing facility (100) to receive a cyclotron (112); equipping the manufacturing facility (100) with a synthesis unit (132) which is designed to receive a first radioactive material from the cyclotron (112) and to produce a second radioactive material; transporting the manufacturing facility (100) to a site; transporting the cyclotron (112) to the site; and enclosing the cyclotron (112) inside the manufacturing facility (100). The manufacturing facility (100) may be relocated to another site without substantial effort.
