Possibilities for Producing Radionuclides in Nuclear Power Plants with RBMK Reactors
It is shown that radiation doping of silicon and the production of medical and industrial radioisotopes in the reactors at the Leningrad nuclear power plant are possible and safe. The production of cobalt with specific activity ~100 Ci/g in an RBMK-1000 reactor is studied. Some promising development...

Zusammenfassung: | It is shown that radiation doping of silicon and the production of medical and industrial radioisotopes in the reactors at the Leningrad nuclear power plant are possible and safe. The production of cobalt with specific activity ~100 Ci/g in an RBMK-1000 reactor is studied. Some promising developments for improving the quality of the radioisotopes produced are described. It is shown that the production volumes can be increased by linking up other nuclear power plants with RBMK reactors into the production chain. |
