Abstract

The possibility of medical radionuclide ^64,67Cu production in spallation neutron spectrum induced by proton and deuteron beams has been studied. Experiments were performed on a massive natural uranium target at the accelerators Phasotron and Nuclotron JINR, Dubna. The main disadvantage of this method is a high ⁶⁴Cu/⁶⁷Cu ratio in the final product at EOB. Significantly reduce ⁶⁴Cu/⁶⁷Cu ratio is only possible if you use zinc target enriched with ⁶⁸Zn or ⁶⁷Zn. The MCNPX simulation of ^67,64Cu production and definition of the theoretical limit of the specific activity of ^67,64Cu by irradiation of natural zinc and zinc enriched by the 68 isotope were performed. The neutron flux density shouldnot be less than 5·10¹³ n/cm²/s if we want to obtain high specific activity (>200 GBq/mg) of ⁶⁷Cu.
