Abstract

Nuclear medicine seems to be a decent choice of medicine in the recent decade. The radioactive isotopes 51Cr, 89Sr, 99Tc, 131I, 133Xe, 137Cs and 153Sm are extremely essential in nuclear medicine. The excitation functions of the 54Fe (n, α) 51Cr, 92Zr (n, α) 89Sr, 102Rh (n, α) 99Tc, 134Cs (n, α) 131I, 136Ba (n, α) 133Xe, 140La (n, α) 137Cs and 156Gd (n, α) 153Sm reactions were calculated in this study using the EMPIRE 3.2.3 and TALYS 1.95 nuclear codes. Additionally, the cross sections at 14–15 MeV were calculated using empirical formulae and the experimental data. The computer codes were compared to the experimental data and Empirical formulas as well as the evaluated data (TENDL 2021, JENDL 3.3, JENDL 5, JEFF 3.3, EAF 2010, CENDL 3.1, CENDL 3.2, ROSFOND 2010, FENDL 3.2 b, and BROND 3.1).
