Nuclear Transmutation

19.2K
Nuclear transmutation is the conversion of one nuclide into another. It can occur by the radioactive decay of a nucleus, or the reaction of a nucleus with another particle. The first manmade nucleus was produced in Ernest Rutherford’s laboratory in 1919 by a transmutation reaction, the bombardment of one type of nuclei with other nuclei or with neutrons. Rutherford bombarded nitrogen-14 atoms with high-speed α particles from a natural radioactive isotope of radium and observed...

Area of Science:

  • Nuclear Medicine
  • Radiochemistry
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Yttrium-86 (86Y) is a positron-emitting radionuclide with theranostic potential, particularly as a PET imaging partner for Yttrium-90 (90Y) radioimmunotherapy.
  • Current production methods for 86Y are complex and expensive, limiting its availability for clinical and research use.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a simple, cost-efficient, and safe method for producing 86Y.
  • To improve the accessibility of 86Y for theranostic applications.

Main Methods:

  • Developed an optimized target preparation method to enhance cost-efficiency.
  • Designed and constructed an automated purification system to minimize manual radiation handling and exposure risks.

Main Results:

  • Successfully performed multiple automated productions of 86Y with high radionuclidic purity (99.45%).
  • Achieved saturation yields ranging from 518 MBq/μA to 1332 MBq/μA, depending on target thickness.

Conclusions:

  • The developed method offers a simplified and cost-effective approach to 86Y production.
  • The automated purification system enhances safety and reduces radiation exposure, making 86Y more accessible for theranostic applications.
