Production of isotopes ¹⁸⁴Re, ¹⁸⁶Re and ¹⁸⁸Re at linear electron accelerators of NSC KIPT

Abstract

This paper presents the preliminary results on determining the values of specific activity of radionuclides ¹⁸⁴Re, ¹⁸⁶Re and ¹⁸⁸Re. Irradiation of Re targets of a natural isotope composition with gamma-quanta and neutrons was conducted at NSC KIPT linear accelerators. Possible levels of activity of the above-mentioned radionuclides are forecasted.
