System for automatically producing radioisotopes

Abstract From the Canadian patent

A system (1) for automatically producing radioisotopes and including a target , carrier (8) ; an electrodeposition unit (2) for electrodepositing a target in the target carrier; an irradiation unit (3) for irradiating the target in the target carrier (8) ; first transfer means (5 18) for transferring the target , carrier from the electrodeposition unit (2) to the irradiation unit (3) ; an electrodissolution unit (2) for electrodissolving the irradiated target; second transfer means (5, 18) for transferring the target carrier from the irradiation unit (3) to the electrodissolution unit (2) ; a purifying unit (4) for purifying the radioisotope of the non-reacting target and impurities; …
