Abstract

The essential feature of the method developed for the production of 125I is that, instead of gas, a stable, solid compound of xenon, XeF 2, is used as target material. On irradiation with integral thermal neutron flux of 2·5.10 19–5·1.10 19 in a WWR-S type nuclear reactor the final yield varies from 26 to 43 mCi 125I/g of XeF 2 and the radioactive concentration of the product is 2–120 mCi/ml with 126I concentration below 1 per cent. In a batch run 50 g of XeF 2 can be irradiated.
