Praseodymium-142 (142Pr) was produced for brachytherapy. Standardization using multiple methods confirmed consistent activity measurements, with CIEMAT/NIST tracing offering the lowest uncertainty.

Area of Science:

  • Nuclear Physics
  • Radiochemistry
  • Medical Physics

Background:

  • 142Pr is a potential radionuclide for brachytherapy applications.
  • Accurate radionuclide standardization is crucial for its safe and effective use in medicine.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To standardize the radionuclide 142Pr produced via neutron activation.
  • To compare the results obtained from different radioactivity measurement techniques.

Main Methods:

  • Production of 142Pr by irradiating natural Pr2O3 powder in a research reactor.
  • Dissolution of the irradiated material and preparation for measurement.
  • Standardization using the CIEMAT/NIST efficiency tracing method, gamma spectrometry, and a calibrated ionization chamber.
