Abstract:
Activation calculations were completed on the production of emerging beta-emitting radionuclides in the Budapest Research Reactor (BRR) for medical applications. MCNP6 was utilized to characterize the neutron field at the irradiation positions, while FISPACT-II software was used to predict the activities of the produced radionuclides. Target materials with natural isotopic compositions were irradiated in three different vertical channels of the BRR, and the specific activities of the radionuclides 161Tb, 111Ag, 199Au and 177Lu were determined using gamma-ray spectrometry. The validation has been successfully completed using ENDF/B-VIII.0 and TENDL-2017 nuclear data libraries. A few discrepant cases were identified which require further investigation.
