Abstract

For improvement of radionuclidic purity of123I a method was elaborated to obtain highly enriched [123Te] tellurium. Using this new TeO2 target the optimum irradiation conditions have been investigated for the production of123I via123Te (p,n)123I and the radionuclide impurity levels were also determined.
