Abstract:
The 1-2 GeV proton induced spallation reaction on the high Z materials like Hg, or lead bismuth eutectic (LBE), popularly known as converter targets, will produce strong flux of fast neutrons which would further react with fissile materials to produce intense radioactive ion beam (RIB). LBE offers suitability for use as converters over Hg but it suffers from the demerit of radiotoxic polonium production. These targets may be viewed as a store house of clinically important and other exotic radionuclides. For application of those radionuclides, radiochemical separation from bulk target material is of utmost importance.

Water
The polarity of the water molecule and its resulting hydrogen bonding makes water a unique substance with special properties that are intimately tied to the processes of life. Life originally evolved in an aqueous environment, and most of an organism’s cellular chemistry and metabolism occur inside the aqueous contents of the cell’s cytoplasm. Special properties of water are its high heat capacity...
