Method for producing isotopes in power nuclear reactors

A method of producing isotopes in a light water power reactor, whereby one or more targets (320) within the reactor may be irradiated under a neutron flux to produce one or more isotopes. The targets may be assembled into a tubing portion (180) of a fuel rod in one or more fuel bundles that are to b...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A method of producing isotopes in a light water power reactor, whereby one or more targets (320) within the reactor may be irradiated under a neutron flux to produce one or more isotopes. The targets may be assembled into a tubing portion (180) of a fuel rod in one or more fuel bundles that are to be loaded in a core of the reactor at a given outage. Power operations in the reactor irradiate the fuel bundles so as to generate desired isotopes, such as one or more radioisotopes at a desired specific activity or stable isotopes at a desired concentration.
