Large scale production of 64Cu and 67Cu via the 64Zn(n,p)64Cu and 68Zn(n,np/d)67Cu reactions using accelerator neutrons

Journal of Radioanalytical and Nuclear Chemistry - Both 64Cu and 67Cu are promising radionuclides in nuclear medicine. Production yields of these radionuclides were quantified by irradiating...     

Thermal neutron cross section and resonance integral of the reaction of135Cs(n,γ)136Cs: Fundamental data for the transmutation of nuclear waste

To determine the cross sections of the¹³⁵Cs(n,γ)¹³⁶Cs reaction, a sample of¹³⁵Cs included in a “standardized solution” of¹³⁷Cs was used as a target and irradiated in a reactor. The ratio of the atom number of¹³⁵Cs to that of¹³⁷Cs was determined to be 0.89±0.03 with a quadrupole mass spectrometer. The thermal cross section and the resonance integral measured in this study were determined to be 8.3±0.3 and 38.1±2.6 b respectively.
