| It is well known presently that radionuclides produced with cyclotrons have very good nuclear-physical characteristics for use in medicine and a set of these nuclides is much wider than produced with the reactors. At PNPI a high current cyclotron C-80 with the energy of extracted proton beam of 40-80 MeV and the current up to 200 mkA is under construction. It is planned to start its operation at the end of 2012. One of the main goals of C-80 is production of a wide spectrum of medical radio- nuclides for diagnostics and therapy. At present time a project is worked out for the construction of radioisotope complex RIC-80 (Radio Isotopes at the cyclotron C-80) at the beam of C-80. In the presented submission the project of RIC-80 complex is discussed, which includes four target stations for the production of a wide set of radionuclides for medicine. The peculiarity of the proposed radioisotope facility is the use of the mass-separator with the target-ion source device as one of the target stations for on-line, or semi on-line production of a high purity separated radioisotopes. The possibility of production of different medical radionuclides, including relatively short-lived ones, is discussed as well. | ||
