RADIONUCLIDE PRODUCTION SYSTEM AND RADIONUCLIDE PRODUCTION METHOD

The present invention provides a radionuclide production system and a radionuclide production method capable of improving a radionuclide production amount and supplying a radionuclide with less excess and deficiency when the radionuclide, is required. The radionuclide production system (1) includes a particle beam irradiation apparatus (10) that generates a particle beam (11), a plurality of targets (40) that generates the radionuclide by irradiation with the particle beam (11), and a separation refinement apparatus (30) that separates and refines the radionuclide from the targets (40). The plurality of targets (40) is divided into an irradiation target group (40a) subjected to an irradiation treatment of generating the radionuclide by irradiation with the particle beam (11) and a refinement target group (40b) subjected to a separation refinement treatment of separating and refining the radionuclide from the targets (40). The irradiation target group (40a) and the refinement target group (40b) are processed in parallel. In the radionuclide production method, the irradiation target group (40a) and the refinement target group (40b) are processed in parallel to produce the radionuclide.
