Optimization of Irradiation Conditions for 177 Lu Production at the LVR-15 Research Reactor
Original language description
The use of lutetium in medicine has been increasing over the last few years. The yield of 177Lu from the 176Lu(n,?)177Lu nuclear reaction depends significantly on the thermal neutron fluence rate. The capture cross-sections of both reaction 176Lu(n,?)177Lu and reaction 177Lu(n,?)178Lu are very high. Therefore a burn up of target and product nuclides should be taken into account when calculating 177Lu activity. The maximum irradiation time, when the activity of the 177Lu radionuclide begins to decline, was found for different fluence rates. In this experiment, lutetium was irradiated in a titanium capsule. The influence of the Ti capsule on the neutron spectrum was monitored using activation detectors.
