Production of iodine-124 by the reaction (<i>D</i>, 2<i>N</i>) at cyclotron R7M for nuclear medicine
The yield of the isotope <sup>124</sup>I from thin target of natural TeO<sub>2</sub> by irradiation deuteron beam with an energy of 13.6 MeV was measured. The yield of the isotope <sup>124</sup>I from thin target of natural TeO<sub>2 </sub>was equal to 0.297 MBq/(mA·h), the yield of <sup>124</sup>I from target of <sup>124</sup>Te (100 %) O<sub>2</sub> was equal to 6.24 MBq/(mA·h). The possibility of obtaining <sup>124</sup>I in an amount sufficient to cover regional requirements in radiopharmaceuticals was concluded.
