Abstract

Large numbers of radionuclides are produced when 1.4 GeV proton beam hits lead bismuth eutectic (LBE) target. Separation of desired radionuclide from large amount of bulk components and other co-produced radionuclides is a challenging task. In this experiment, such a case has been simulated by irradiating a LBE target with low energy proton beam and spiked with nine radionuclides (56Co, 67 Ga, 90Nb, 149Gd, 157Dy, 172Lu, 182Re, 195mHg, 198Tl). The bulk Pb and bulk Bi were separated from irradiated LBE target matrix by different methods and the distribution pattern of these radionuclides were studied in the separated Pb and Bi fraction.
